What we do
Where growth gets stuck, we step in.
A launch on the calendar, systems the business has outgrown, a new market, a capital raise or an opportunity ahead. We bring the senior help that fits: a project, a fractional executive or an embedded team.
When to bring us in
A launch date with no plan behind it
A new product, channel or market is on the calendar. We plan the launch and set up the product, suppliers, listings and fulfillment behind it.
Spreadsheets running the business
You’re choosing an ERP, WMS, 3PL or customer support platform. We define what you need, run the selection and lead the rollout.
Every decision waits on the founder
The founder is doing too many jobs, or a leadership seat is open. We step in to carry the load, then build the org chart and hiring plan for your next stage.
A raise or a sale ahead, and the books aren’t ready
Funding, an investor review or a sale is ahead. We get the books, forecasts and reporting ready and prepare you for diligence.
Sales stalled and margins slipping
Operations need steadying. We find where margin and time are lost and put the fixes in order.
Compliance requirements coming up
FDA, EPA, ISO or GMP requirements are ahead. We set up the operations, supplier and finance work your quality system depends on, alongside your quality and regulatory lead.
The three models.
Same senior operators, same way of working. The shape of the engagement is the only thing that changes.
01
Project
Defined scope, a flat fee, and a clear finish line. A pro forma financial plan. A manufacturing contract built from scratch. A business plan that holds up in an investor room. Work with edges, delivered by a senior operator.
When this is the right fit:
- You need one thing done well, not a standing team.
- The scope is knowable before the work starts.
- You want to see how PILTA works before going deeper.
02
Fractional Executive & Advisory
Fractional executives: a COO, CFO, CMO, and when the moment calls for it, the CEO seat itself. This is executive work: strategy, management, and advisory at the level the title demands.
For when the CEO needs relief. When the business is straining toward its next stage of growth or a new expansion. When there is a gap in strategy and direction, or the leadership bench needs more firepower.
When this is the right fit:
- The CEO is carrying too much alone.
- Growth has outrun the current leadership bench.
- Strategy and direction need a senior hand now, not after a search.
03
Embedded Team
Knowledgeable, pre-vetted experts working in your team, as your team. This is knowledge process outsourcing, KPO: operators who embed with your people and assist, lead, manage, and execute, without the weight of a full-time commitment.
What that looks like in practice: an operations lead paired with an accounting controller. An embedded executive with a customer support manager, an operations director, and a project manager. An executive with a head of finance, a product manager, and a supply chain analyst.
When this is the right fit:
- The problem touches more than one function.
- You need leadership and hands, not recommendations.
- It has to work as one team, not three vendors.
Where PILTA stands apart
From five hours a week to forty. And everything in between.
PILTA is fractional and modular by design, so we can be part of your growth and your company’s story at exactly the weight the moment calls for. Every option is shaped to your business: your needs, your scale, your plan, your way of working.
Build, Scale, Support.
We stand the function up, run it to stable, and support it at the weight the business needs. Engagements extend, change shape, or convert as the plan demands.
Try before you buy.
Start small. A project or a few hours a week is enough to know whether the fit is real, before anything bigger.
Stay for the long term.
A fractional embedded partner at your side for the years the plan actually takes.
How PILTA compares with other options.
| Option | How it usually works | PILTA |
|---|---|---|
| Large consulting firm | Recommendations, often followed by a separate implementation project | Senior operators who also build it with the client’s team |
| Fractional platform or solo executive | One person in one function | One operator or a team, backed by the Operating Partner |
| Full-time executive hire | A search, ramp-up and long commitment | Senior help from the start, scaled up or down |
| Recruiter or staffing firm | The client pays to find people | PILTA owns the outcome: scopes the problem, does the work and runs the engagement |
| Marketing agency | Marketing on retainer | Works alongside it |

How an engagement starts.
01
A conversation
One call. A straight read on where your operation stands and whether we can help.
02
An assessment, when it helps
If the scope needs finding, a short paid assessment puts senior eyes inside the operation before anyone commits to more.
03
The engagement
Project, fractional executive, or embedded team, shaped by what the assessment actually found.
