Peak Fractional Leadership & Advisory Group
Peak Is Different: Strategic Partner, Not Staffing Agency
We're not here to "fill positions." We're here to transform how you operate while protecting the culture you've built.
Who We Serve Best: Peak is built for operators navigating:
GROWTH
TROUBLE
TROUBLE
Scaling faster than infrastructure can support? Need C-level expertise but can't justify full-time salaries? Preparing for fundraising or strategic milestones?
TROUBLE
TROUBLE
TROUBLE
Negative cash flow or EBITDA? Operations hemorrhaging money? Culture fracturing under pressure? Leadership gaps from unexpected departures?
CHANGE
TROUBLE
CHANGE
M&A integration (you acquired or were acquired)? Organizational restructuring?
AI integration? Culture evolution (what got you here won't get you there)?
5 Ways Peak Is Different:
1. We're Operators, Not Advisors
We don't fly in, drop recommendations, and leave. We get dirty. We learn your business from the inside out - your operations, your constraints, your team's actual capabilities, your culture's strengths and fault lines.
Why it matters: Strategies built by people who don't understand your reality are just expensive guesses. We assess first, strategize second, execute third.
2. We Design Strategies FOR Your Team
Most consultants ask: "What's the best strategy?"
We ask: "What's the best strategy this team can actually execute?"
Our proprietary approach:
- 4 measurements assess your team's capacity, skill gaps, change readiness, and execution bandwidth
- We build strategies WITH the people who'll implement them, not FOR them
- We ensure plans are actionable, not aspirational
Why it matters: The best strategy in the world is worthless if your team can't execute it. We align strategy with capability.
3. Striated Teams™: Elite Talent, Layered Strategically
You may not need 40 hours of a CFO (or CHRO|COO|CTO|CIO).
You may only need experts being utilized for only the hours they need to spend on the skills aligned with their expertise:
- 3 hours of strategic leadership
- 10 hours of operational execution
- 5 hours of specialized support (payroll, FP&A, etc.)
That's Striated Teams™:
Strategic Leadership: Fractional C-Suite sets vision, manages risk, ensures compliance
Operational Executors: Specialists implement systems, drive day-to-day excellence
Tactical Support: Project teams fill specific capability gaps on-demand and with faster results than a senior leader who doesn't do that task every day
The result: Fortune 500 expertise at a fraction of the cost, working as an integrated team (not siloed contractors).
Cost comparison:
- Full-time C-suite team: $420K-$650K/year
- Peak Striated Team: $120K-$350K/year
- Your savings: $224K-$364K annually
4. People-First Execution
Here's what we know: Your culture is your competitive advantage—or your biggest liability.
Maybe you've built something special. Maybe you've built something that needs fixing. Either way, we don't come in and blow it up.
Our people-first approach means:
We respect your team's expertise (they know things we don't)
We engage your people in creating solutions (not dictating them)
We align around the "why" before the "what" (purpose drives adoption)
We make strategies executable by the humans who have to execute them
We don't outpace your team's capability (that's how good plans fail)
Why it matters:
Change fails when people feel like it's being DONE to them. Change succeeds when people feel like they're BUILDING it together.
We've seen brilliant strategies die because consultants ignored culture. We've seen mediocre strategies succeed because teams felt ownership.
We choose the latter. Every time.
5. Economic Reality Meets Strategic Ambition
You're a CEO. You understand P&L. You can't afford to waste money on:
- Expensive hires you're not sure you need full-time
- Consultants who bill $500/hour to tell you what you already know
- Agencies that send junior people to do senior work
Peak's economic model:
Pay for value, not time: You get strategic leadership without full-time overhead
Scale up or down: Need more support during integration or fundraising? We flex. Need less after stabilization? We adjust.
No long-term lock-in: Our engagements are based on results, not contracts designed to maximize our billings
Transparent pricing: You know what you're paying and what you're getting
We're not trying to maximize our hours. We're trying to maximize your outcomes.
