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.
