THE resource for fractional executive leadership

Ben-Wolf-Bio
Ben founded what is now the largest fractional COO firm, Wolf’s Edge Integrators, after solving a problem a lot of business owners have.
In a previous role, he was stuck in the weeds of a business he’d built from the beginning — and didn’t have a quarter of a million dollars to hire a full-time, top-notch COO. Someone who’d run their own business, and knew how to transition growth chaos into mature efficiency.
Doing it the hard way, Ben eventually grew the business into the largest organization of its type in his state.
But he wasn’t going to do it that way again. And neither should anyone else.

LAUNCHING WOLF’S EDGE INTEGRATORS

Ben started by working as the Fractional COO/Integrator for several businesses. Soon, other experienced COOs joined him. Today, as the largest fractional COO / Integrator firm in the world, their expertise is leveraged by clients across the U.S., in Canada, Europe, and in multiple industries.

Wolf’s Edge Fractional Chief Operating Officers (COOs) / Integrators have all owned or run businesses.

They help CEOs of small and midsize growing businesses achieve the freedom of owning a scaled, self-managed company by developing the right people, processes, and metrics to evolve your business into a company that doesn’t need their 24/7 involvement to grow and operate.

ADVANCING THE INDUSTRY

While building Wolf’s Edge, Ben talked with many other firms and solo practitioners in the fractional executive industry. These are executives serving their clients fractionally in marketing, sales, operations, finance, people, technology, and other disciplines.

But it soon became clear that business owners had no objective source for information about fractional executives.

When should people use them? How does the arrangement work? Who should retain one? And what results should you expect and measure?

There are thousands of websites, each with its own agenda, but no “center of gravity” for the industry.

So Ben wrote the first book explaining what fractional executive leadership is, how it works, and how to take advantage of the model.

That book became the Amazon bestseller: Fractional Leadership: Landing Executive Talent You Thought Was Out of Reach.

Professional associations, peer advisory groups, communities, magazines, journalists, and podcast hosts invite Ben to speak about fractional executive leadership because he is founder and CEO of the largest Fractional COO firm in the world, Wolf’s Edge Integrators, and wrote the first book on the industry, the Amazon bestseller, Fractional Leadership: Landing Executive Talent You Thought Was Out of Reach.

Ben speaks to entrepreneur/business owner audiences and to executives about what exactly fractional executive leadership is, how it works, whether it is for them, how to find the right Fractional Leader, and how to successfully become, succeed, or level-up as a Fractional Leader.
