About this listen
Want elite execs without the big bill or long-term lock-in? I sit down with Stephen Halpin, the mind behind Portfolio XD, a team offering fractional C-suite talent—CEOs, CFOs, CMOs—on demand. Frustrated by consultancy roles where sharp strategies just sat unused, Stephen crafted a model that delivers real impact, not just slides. Post-COVID, Portfolio XD took off as SMEs sought flexible, high-calibre leaders to tackle funding rounds or global growth.
Here’s the twist: it’s not just cost-effective—it’s a total rethink. Imagine a UK media firm landing a Toronto CEO or a bioscience startup tapping a Boston CCO, no recruitment hassle. Stephen breaks it down—speed, expertise, no risk for companies, and execs (not just retirees) love the flexibility. He’s upfront about the missteps too, like corporate pros stumbling in fast-moving SMEs. And his take on networks? It’s who you know that sparks the magic. This ain’t fluff—it’s raw, punchy, and might just make you rethink your own game plan.
