Fractional Chief Revenue Officer · Series A & B

I build the growth engine that unlocks your next level.

A revenue and growth operator who's taken new products to hundreds of millions in ARR. I partner with founders and their go-to-market leaders to find what's holding growth back, and then build the unlock.

Where you are

You found product-market fit. You raised. You built the team. And you're still missing the number.

New reps aren't ramping. Growth stalled even as headcount climbed. The motion that closed your first millions is starting to break. None of that means you hired wrong — it means you've hit the stage where the old playbook runs out, and most leaders are seeing it for the first time. I've seen it before.

Sound familiar

Adding salespeople stopped adding revenue. That's not a hiring problem — it's a system problem.

New reps take too long to ramp, and the number leans on a handful of heroes.

Your sales leader is good — but hasn't built at this scale before, and is learning in real time.

The forecast is a guess. Nobody can say with confidence where the next quarter lands.

I don't take your CRO's seat. I sit next to them — a partner who's already built what you're asking them to build, working alongside you, your team, and your board.

The method · E3

Evaluate. Engineer. Execute.

01

Evaluate

The diagnostic

A four-to-eight week sprint that finds the real picture: where revenue is strong, where it leaks, and the highest-leverage shifts across strategy, systems, and team — written up as a roadmap you and your board can stand behind.

Inside the diagnostic
02

Engineer

The design

Designing the revenue system the roadmap calls for — process, playbooks, pricing, comp, forecasting, and operations — built with your team so the motion holds without leaning on a few heroes.

How we design
03

Execute

The work, in the field

Putting it into the field and making it real — embedded leadership, advisory, or a team that comes in to do the build, the enablement, and the hiring. Where most advisors hand over a deck, this is where the work actually gets done.

How we execute

How an engagement runs

A repeatable diagnostic. Proven plays, tailored to you.

Front end · Evaluate

The diagnostic

Every engagement starts here. A proven diagnostic with a clear arc — four to eight weeks to a clear point of view and a roadmap your team can act on and your board can get behind.

Back end · Engineer + Execute

The work that follows

Proven approaches, tailored to what the diagnostic surfaced — delivered in the format that fits:

  • Embedded fractional
  • Advisory
  • Scoped project

The challenges at this stage are familiar — I've seen them before, and I bring proven approaches we shape to your business, your model, and what the diagnostic surfaced. Embedded and leading alongside you, advising and coaching your team, or a scoped project that solves one thing well. See examples of the work →

Who I am

Sam Lee, Fractional Chief Revenue Officer

Sam started his career in finance and strategy at Goldman Sachs, and went on to become a public-company P&L owner and general manager in the internet industry by the age of 30.

Over the two decades since, he's been a commercial leader who has worked with more than two dozen venture-backed companies to launch, grow, and scale new products — taking them from zero to one, and from one to n. Along the way he has helped scale revenue from millions to hundreds of millions in ARR, including as SVP and Head of Growth at WeWork and Chief Revenue Officer at LeafLink.

He works closely with leading venture investors and invests as an operator himself. If you're Series A or B and your team has reached a stage they haven't run before, that's exactly where Sam comes in.
