Fractional Executive Search

Strengthen Your Investees Without Becoming Their Operator.

Capital alone rarely closes the leadership gaps in an Indonesian portfolio company. We find, vet and embed the senior executive an investee is missing and stay involved throughout, so you can make the introduction knowing it will be handled well.

The situation

For investors, the real risk is how the leadership gap gets filled, not the gap itself.

Investors backing Indonesian companies often face the same dilemma:

01

You can see the gap clearly

You understand what type of leadership would fix it. But you don't have a reliable, high-quality source you trust enough to refer.

02

Referring wrong is worse than doing nothing

It costs time, money, and founder trust. Your reputation with the portfolio company is at stake.

03

You do not want to carry management risk

Being seen as directing the company beyond your governance role creates complications.

04

The governance boundary

You want to add value beyond capital, but need to respect the line between governance and management.

We are an executive search firm that works fractionally, with governance around every engagement. A portfolio company you refer gets a careful search, a vetted senior operator and our support while the engagement runs.

Is it the right fit?

Who this is for, and who it is not

Best for

  • Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
  • Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
  • Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
  • Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
  • Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you

Not for

  • Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
  • A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
  • Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
  • A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement

Matched for stage and culture

We match on stage, sector and how the founders or family run the business, as well as skills, so the executive is accepted and effective.

Involved for the long run

We stay close to every engagement, and when the next gap appears we brief the search from what we already know about the company.

A collective behind each executive

An investee's COO can test a regional rollout with one of our CMOs, so a single engagement brings broader judgement into the business.

We keep the brief current

Should an executive leave, we use the brief and history we already hold to restart the search, and we run the handover.

Respect for family-controlled investees

Many Indonesian investees are family controlled. We professionalise leadership without unsettling the family, with clear boundaries and respect for who makes which decisions.

How it works

The partnership model

One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.

01

Establish the standing relationship

We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.

02

You introduce us when needed

When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.

03

The right operator, fast

Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.

04

Visibility without burden

Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.

Who we support

Support by investor type

Common questions
