A Fractional CSO provides executive-level strategic leadership on a part-time or project basis. Maresa embeds at the C-suite level to diagnose what's blocking growth, build the commercial operating system, align the leadership team, and deploy the strategy with your team — without the full-time overhead of a permanent hire. She works across revenue architecture, positioning, go-to-market strategy, and team alignment.

Maresa works best with founders and CEOs scaling from $2M to $50M+ who need senior strategic leadership without a full-time hire, growth-stage companies and venture-backed startups building toward their next revenue milestone, and executive teams navigating complex pivots, leadership transitions, or market repositioning. She has worked across consulting, technology, home services, biotech, finance, and professional services.

Strategy Solved is the umbrella advisory brand — fractional CSO-level strategy and advisory for founders and executive teams. 75x Strategy is the scaling system for growth-stage companies building toward 75x growth, focused on revenue architecture and commercial operating systems. Executive Cat Herder offers VIP Days and strategic intensives for executives who need clarity fast — walk in with your biggest problem, walk out with a plan.

Engagements vary by scope. The three-phase Diagnose-Design-Deploy process typically runs 12 weeks for a full engagement. Fractional advisory retainers are typically 3–6 months with the option to extend. VIP Days are single-day intensives. Speaking engagements are project-based.

The first step is a 15-minute catch-up call — no pitch, no deck, just a real conversation about your messiest problem. From there, Maresa will recommend the right engagement type based on your situation. You can book directly at strategysolved.com/connect.
