FRACTIONAL LEADER

A Trusted Partner When Growth or Change Stretches Your Team

WHEN YOUR ORGANISATION NEEDS MORE CAPACITY, I step in to bring clarity, structure, and momentum.

A fractional executive is a seasoned leader who works with your organisation on an ongoing, part-time basis, bringing senior leadership into the mix without the cost or commitment of a full-time role.

Is this your organisation?

  • There’s momentum, but not enough clarity, structure, or alignment to fully deliver.

  • Too much sits with too few people.

  • You don’t need a full-time senior hire, but you do need experienced leadership in the mix.

This is where I come in.‍ ‍

I bring strategic clarity and strong people leadership to help you focus, align your organisation and move forward with consistency so you can grow your impact without burning your people out.

I have worked with Stacey guiding a Not-for-Profit organisation for over 5 years. I can safely say that without her expertise, drive and wise counsel, the organisation would not have made such great strides with growing awareness, community involvement, and finding a solid financial footing. We have confidence in our future and where we are heading thanks to Stacey who was responsible for keeping everyone on track. If I was to have my own business, I would absolutely want her running it.

Stacey has been a powerhouse of organisation, cheer and font of knowledge in promoting, maintaining and progressing EMUGS. With a group of enthusiastic doctors on joining, she has herded the cats and generated a group across Australia and New Zealand with a clear focus and purpose in spreading the use and education of point of care ultrasound. As one of those cats that need herding she has mentored and coached us to be more effective in reaching our goals. I would recommend her in teaching/mentoring or coaching these leadership skills for others. She has much to give in this.
— Dr Alastair Maclean - Doctor & Director
I have worked with Stacey for the last two years. Over that time, she has been invaluable to our organisation. Her vision, organisational skills, knowledge of corporate culture and adaptability have helped our organisation transform from a network of state-based groups to a cohesive and unified Australasian organisation, with a stronger membership base and leadership team. And additionally, she is the best meeting facilitator I have ever had the pleasure to work with! We have been incredibly fortunate to have Stacey on board, and look forward to continuing our journey, with her invaluable contribution, in the future.

Experienced leadership across the areas that matter most.

  • Turning purpose and energy into a clear, shared direction. Clarifying what you’re here to do, who you serve and what you will (and won’t) focus on in the next 12–24 months. Bringing everyone and everthing into alignment for greater momentum.

  • Coaching and developing key and emerging leaders as they navigate growth and change whilst building a thriving culture that supports success.

  • Weaving social impact strategies, brand elevation and governance expertise to elevate your organisation so all stakeholders can clearly see the value you create and where you’re heading.

  • Spotting gaps and friction in your customer and internal experience, then designing simple processes and ways of working – just enough structure to create clarity and consistency, without unnecessary bureaucracy.

  • Bringing all of the moving parts together, people and projects, I facilitate forward momentum through strategic alignment, collaboration and practical organisation.
