I work with professionals building portfolio careers and organisations that need to hire fractional expertise effectively. Every introduction is considered. The context always comes first.
Typical engagements: interim, fractional and portfolio roles at expert, senior and leadership levels.
"Cal's support building our flexible bench has been invaluable. I means that we have the right people to deliver our services, when we need them."
"Such a useful sounding board as I transition from my executive role as a COO to a portfolio career. Cal has helped me understand the subtle differences in the NED role, and how I can balance commitments effectively."
"Cal sees opportunities and value that others miss, not just recruiters. He has helped me make valuable connections throughout my career."
I work at the intersection of fractional talent and portfolio career development, helping senior professionals build portfolio careers, and advising organisations on how to hire fractional expertise in a way that actually works.
At Amarval I don't need to work at scale. Before taking on a brief I ask whether a fractional appointment is genuinely the right model, and if it isn't, I say so. And I hope that candour cuts both ways.
