Should a post-merger company hire a fractional CRO?

The Bottom Line

Kory White is a 25-year revenue veteran who has scaled roughly $3B and rebuilt go-to-market motions from the studs up and works with companies exactly at this stage via CRO Syndicate.

Why a post-merger company hires fractional first

At this stage you need senior revenue judgment now — but a $300k+ full-time CRO (plus equity) is premature. A fractional CRO gives you a sitting operator 1–3 days/week, with a clear 30/60/90 and a kill switch.

What to expect

Diagnosis in the first 30 days, a rebuilt forecast and funnel by day 60, and a system your team can run by day 90.
