Phil Smith Spotlight Interview

May 24, 2025
 

We are pleased to present our latest Spotlight Interview with Phil Smith, CEO of Fractional Executive Advisors.  

Phil has a very successful career performing successful operational and management roles at a variety of companies and industries, including CEO, CIO, COO and even CMO, to name a few, so it’s only natural that he launch Fractional Executive Advisors as a way to give small and medium sized companies the expertise that they need at a fraction of the cost.

In this interview we discussed:

* The types of roles that Phil has helped clients with;

* The industries, including Technology, that Phil is typically involved in;

* 3 example case studies of companies Phil has recently helped including:

  • A hosting company that wanted to expand and he helped them moved into an adjacent space providing complimentary Cybersecurity services;
  • A family own business where the owner was ready to retire and none of the children wanted to take over.  In this case Phil was able to act as CEO and then help them sell the business;
  • A seasonable remodeling company that built an related home improvement and maintenance service adjacent to their main service as a way of smoothing their revenue streams.

* The types of scenarios where companies typically will bring in an executive like Phil and when to reach out to him for help!

It’s a great interview, packed with great, seasoned business advice, and we think you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks to Phil for the great interview!
