Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Windham Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a Windham law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
Above the Silos
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
What changes when one owner runs the number
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
