A targeted, efficient, and cost-effective way to work with experts. Welcome a fractional executive to solve a specific problem or support a dedicated department for a fixed period. Benefit from their expertise without the cost and considerations that can come with a permanent hire.
If you need specialist support, a board advisor can offer an expert opinion or sounding board when you need it most. Working alongside your team as an experienced expert, they can drive growth within a department and advise on improvements that will help you scale for success.
A benefit to your board, a non-executive director (NED) will get under the surface of your business while remaining independent. One step away from your day-to-day operations , an NED can provide fresh perspectives and strategic suggestions that will help you grow sustainably and optimise your governance.

What's the difference between fractional leadership, board advisory and NED?
Fractional leadership is part-time executive support with hands-on responsibility. Board advisory provides strategic guidance without formal governance duties. Non-Executive Directors (NED's) sit on the board, offering oversight, governance, and strategic input, but don’t manage day-to-day operations.
Can Connectd help to assemble entire boards?
Yes, Connectd can help assemble entire boards tailored to your company’s specific needs. Every business is different, and we take into account your stage, sector, goals, and gaps. With over 3,000+ experts in our network—including experienced non-executives, advisors, and fractional leaders—we can build a well-rounded board that brings strategic value. We often support a blend of roles and remuneration types, from pro bono and equity-only arrangements to paid advisory and traditional fractional positions, depending on your requirements and available resources.
