What does a Fractional CCO do?
A Fractional CCO can help establish your operational foundation, fine-tune your facility design, and implement best practices for everything from cultural practices and yield optimization to fine genetics acquisition. Instead of hiring multiple full-time experts for these tasks, a Fractional CCO brings the experience and oversight needed to ensure each decision aligns with the bigger picture. Our Fractional CCOs provide flexible, strategic leadership, stepping in when you need them most.
We offer financing for all of our Fractional CCO Services, ensuring that we are able to facilitate a working relationship with any business, regardless of their financial hurdles. We recognize that often times, the companies that need us the most are the ones that are strapped for cash!
So when Is hiring a Fractional CCO especially beneficial?
During Startup Phases: Starting a cannabis business requires a massive amount of expertise in everything from facility design/ build, regulatory compliance and operational workflows. Our Fractional CCO’s can help design your cultivation facility, incorporate the right technology, and ensure you have the systems in place to scale efficiently, all while keeping costs manageable.
Facing Operational Hiccups: Sometimes businesses face unexpected challenges, whether it’s issues with yield decline, weak or undesirable genetics, or compliance struggles. A Fractional CCO is a flexible solution to these problems, able to step in and provide high-level problem-solving, while implementing corrective strategies to get things back on track.
When You Need Expert Guidance, But Not Full-Time Commitment: If your business requires deep expertise for a specific project or temporary need but doesn’t require a full-time executive, a Fractional CCO gives you access to a senior leader without the overhead of a permanent hire. This is ideal when you need to bring a high-level thinker to the table for a short-term, critical phase of growth or operational change.
During Transitions or Expansions: Whether you’re expanding into new markets, upgrading technology, or scaling your cultivation, a Fractional CCO can provide the leadership needed to navigate these transitions. They bring a strategic, big-picture perspective while ensuring day-to-day operations run smoothly.
