The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.

A fractional executive is a senior C-suite leader, typically with 15 or more years of operating experience, who embeds directly into your business on a part-time or retained basis. The engagement is structured as a company-to-company contract, so no employment relationship is created between the executive and your organisation. Your leader holds the decisions in their domain, executes alongside your team, and is accountable to business outcomes, for the share of time the role actually requires. The model is well established globally and increasingly relevant to the family-owned groups, scaling businesses and digital economy companies shaping Jakarta today.

Engagements typically cost 30 to 60% less than a full-time executive at the same level of seniority. A permanent hire also carries BPJS Ketenagakerjaan employer contributions (JHT 3.7%, JP 2%, JKM 0.3%, JKK up to 1.74%) and eventual stacked statutory severance, the UP, UPMK and UPH components under the Omnibus Job Creation Law, none of which applies to a company-to-company engagement. You pay for the seniority and the time you need, invoiced cleanly between entities in rupiah, and you retain one month's notice to adjust the scope or conclude the engagement as circumstances evolve. Most engagements run between six and twenty-four months.

The model suits any business that needs genuine board-level capability before it can justify a full-time hire at that seniority. In Jakarta, that typically means second and third-generation family conglomerate subsidiaries professionalising their management layer ahead of succession; founder-led FMCG and consumer brands scaling across the archipelago; post-correction tech scale-ups under pressure to reach profitability with leaner leadership; OJK-regulated fintech and P2P platforms needing compliance-grade finance and risk leadership; and foreign multinationals' Indonesia entities, structured as a PT PMA, needing senior local commercial leadership. The common thread is a pivotal moment where the cost of the wrong decision outweighs the cost of the right leader.

A consultant produces analysis and recommendations, then steps away. An interim is typically a full-time, short-term placement. A fractional executive embeds for the share of time the role needs, holds decision-making authority in their function, and is measured on business outcomes rather than deliverables or presentations. They work inside your business alongside your team, not at arm's length from it, for as long as the leadership moment requires.

Indonesia's corporate income tax is 22%, and from 1 January 2025 the VAT headline rate moved to 12% applied on an 11/12 base, leaving an effective rate of around 11% on most goods and services, with the full 12% reserved for luxury goods. A fractional engagement is invoiced company to company, so it sits cleanly within these arrangements, and for OJK-regulated financial-sector firms your leader brings the compliance literacy to keep finance and risk reporting accurate. We frame cost in rupiah against the fully-loaded cost of a permanent hire, never a Western day-rate.
