EP #86: The Rise of the Fractional Executive with Kahlil Dumas

In this episode, I explore the rapid growth of fractional executive roles, which have expanded from 2,000 to over 125,000 on LinkedIn in just a few years. I break down how fractional execs go beyond traditional consulting to drive real results.

Sharing my own journey into fractional leadership after a layoff, I discuss how it boosted my income and gave me the flexibility I needed as a new dad to twins. This experience led me to launch Execnow, a platform connecting companies with diverse fractional talent.

I’m here to guide both companies and executives into this exciting shift – because the future of work is fractional.
