Join the Executive Team

Obsidian Thorne is assembling a select network of experienced C-Suite leaders who want to apply their expertise across multiple growing companies without the constraints of a traditional full-time executive role.

Our model allows seasoned executives to work directly with founders and leadership teams that need experienced guidance, operational discipline, and strategic leadership. Rather than operating as outside consultants, our executives become embedded members of the leadership team and actively help companies move forward.

The Roles We Are Building

We are currently accepting inquiries from experienced leaders in the following executive disciplines:

• Chief Operating Officer (COO)
• Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
• Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
• Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)
• Chief Information Officer (CIO)
• Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Each role supports founder-led companies that are actively scaling and require experienced leadership to help guide their next stage of growth.

Our Fractional C-Suite Model

Traditional executive roles often limit leaders to a single organization. Our model is designed differently.

Obsidian Thorne executives work with a small portfolio of carefully selected companies at the same time, providing focused leadership, strategic direction, and operational guidance where it is needed most.

This structure allows executives to create meaningful impact across multiple organizations while remaining deeply engaged in helping founders build stronger businesses.

Why Is This Different?

Executives who join Obsidian Thorne are not expected to spend their time searching for clients or marketing their services. For the select leaders accepted into our executive network, the advantage is working with founders who have decades of experience in the executive placement model.

When an executive joins our team, we actively work to identify companies that align with their experience and industry background. For example, if a CFO joins our network in Dallas, Texas, we focus on identifying growing companies in that region and within their vertical where financial leadership can immediately create value.

Our team handles the outreach, positioning, and relationship development necessary to introduce executives into the right organizations. We arrange the meetings and open the doors so our executives can focus on what they do best, helping companies perform better.

Obsidian Thorne undertakes a national approach to identifying and landing clients that very few organizations know how to execute. We build the opportunities so our executives can concentrate on delivering leadership and results.

What We Look For

Executives who work with Obsidian Thorne must be able to quickly evaluate a company, understand operational challenges, and begin identifying opportunities for improvement almost immediately.

• Extensive leadership experience in a C-Suite role
• The ability to step into unfamiliar industries and quickly understand the business
• Strong operational and strategic thinking
• Confidence working directly with founders and ownership groups
• The ability to begin delivering meaningful insights within the first 72 hours

A Different Kind of Executive Opportunity

For experienced leaders who enjoy solving complex business challenges, this model provides the opportunity to work with a portfolio of growing companies and apply decades of experience in meaningful ways.

Our executives are not consultants. They are embedded members of the leadership team helping companies move forward.
