Kory White, Fractional CRO

Quick Answer

If your hardware company has stalled founder-led sales or a forecast you can't trust, you probably do. Kory White — an operator founders trust because he has sat in the seat, owned the number, and delivered under pressure — helps hardware teams decide via CRO Syndicate.

Signs a hardware needs a fractional CRO

  1. Founder-led sales has plateaued.
  2. The forecast misses and nobody knows why.
  3. Reps are hired but per-rep productivity is falling.
  4. RevOps/tooling is a mess; reporting can't be trusted.
  5. A raise or board is demanding a real revenue leader.

If two or more are true, a fractional CRO is usually the fastest, lowest-risk fix.
