Let's get to know who you are.

This is the application. About 12 minutes, one question per screen. Every field exists because we use it to build your site — the clearer your answers, the closer the first draft. Press Enter to advance, Shift+Enter for a new line in long answers.

You can close this tab and come back — your answers are saved locally.

Contact · 01

What's your name?*

The legal version, and the version you'd like the site to display. These can be the same — but often differ (post-nominals, designations, anglicized spellings).

Contact · 02

How can we reach you?*

Email is where the acceptance note and Stripe subscription link will go. Phone is for the rare case we'd like to confirm something quickly.

Identity · 03

How do you describe what you do?*

A primary title — Fractional CFO, Former CEO, Independent Director, Executive Coach. A one-line tagline if you have a sharper version of the elevator pitch.

Identity · 04

Where are you based?

For the small "Based in" line under your name. Pronouns if you'd like them on the page.

Positioning · 05

Tell us about yourself in five to seven sentences.*

Where you've worked, what you do now, what you're known for, what kind of problems people bring to you. Write it the way you'd describe yourself to a peer over coffee — we'll keep your voice intact.

Positioning · 06

What separates you from other people with the same title?*

Three to five specific things. Skip the "passionate about excellence" version — give us the operator-level honesty.

Positioning · 07

Three adjectives — and what you're not.*

A compass for tone. Three words and we'll calibrate the whole site around them. The anti-brand is optional but helps us avoid the wrong direction.

Current work · 08

What you're doing right now.*

Format: Title · Company · Year–Present. List active roles. We'll structure them on the site.

Current work · 09

What services or engagements do you offer?*

Three to six items. Format: NAME — short description (1 sentence) — engagement shape (retainer / fixed-fee / annual).

Current work · 10

Who do you typically work with?

Stage, industry, size, geography. Be specific — "Series B–C SaaS companies, $20M–$80M ARR, US-based, post-product-market-fit" beats "growth-stage companies."

Track record · 11

Past roles worth highlighting.

Three to six of the most relevant past positions. We'll format these as a timeline.

Track record · 12

Notable outcomes & board service.

Specific, falsifiable wins. If you can't say something, don't — we'll never invent metrics.

Track record · 13

Speaking, writing, and press.

The credible appearances and citations. Direct links where possible — we'll fetch the rest.

Credentials · 14

Education & credentials.

Anything worth listing — degrees, designations, board certifications, recognition.

Voice · 15

The voice the site should strike.*

Pick the tone closest to how you'd want a senior peer to describe the page after reading it.

Visuals · 16

A photo of you.

A real headshot is best. Phone photos work if it's recent and well-lit. If you don't have one, say so — we'll suggest a direction.

JPG, PNG, HEIC, or ZIP. Up to ~15 MB.
Either is fine — you don't need both.
Visuals · 17

The look you have in mind.

If you trust us, leave fields blank — we'll calibrate from the tone you picked earlier.

Visuals · 18

Personal sites you admire.

Three to five links. Doesn't need to be in your field — could be a writer, designer, founder. Specifics on what appeals helps us calibrate.

Online · 19

Your LinkedIn URL.*

The single most useful field — we pull your existing bio + role history from here to save you typing the same thing twice.

Online · 20

Where else you exist online.

We'll link these where relevant. Skip anything that doesn't apply.

Purpose · 21

What should a visitor do when they land?*

This sets the primary call-to-action on the site.

Domain · 22

Your domain.*

A clean .com is included. If you already have a domain, we point it at the site. You always own it.

We'll send DNS instructions after launch. You keep ownership.
.com included. Premium TLDs may have a small annual extra — we'll quote before charging anything.
Anything else · 23

Anything we should know?

Press cycle coming up? Book launch? Confidential past roles you'd rather not list? Anything that affects the page goes here.

Last question · 24

How did you hear about us?

Helps us know where to spend our time.
