Growth Leadership · Tanaina, AK
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Tanaina Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Tanaina firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
Above the Silos
Why no one owns the baton
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

- No one owns the revenue number

FAQ
Common questions
