Fractional Executive
A fractional executive is a seasoned senior leader, such as a CEO, CFO, CMO, or COO, who provides high-level strategic guidance and hands-on leadership to organizations on a part-time or contract basis, typically working 10-20 hours per week across multiple clients.
This model allows businesses, especially startups and small to mid-sized companies, to access top-tier expertise and drive growth without the full cost and commitment of hiring a permanent full-time executive.
Advisory Boards
An advisory board is a group of experienced external experts who provide non-binding strategic advice, insights, and guidance to a company's management or board of directors on issues like growth, innovation, and challenges.
Unlike a formal board of directors, it has no voting authority, fiduciary duties, or legal responsibilities, offering flexible, objective support particularly valuable for startups, small to mid-sized businesses, and organizations seeking specialized expertise without full governance overhead.
Business Consulting
Business consulting involves experienced professionals providing expert advice and strategic solutions to organizations to help them improve performance, solve complex problems, and achieve specific goals in areas such as operations, finance, marketing, or growth.
This service is typically delivered through analysis, recommendations, and implementation support on a project or ongoing basis, enabling companies—especially small to mid-sized businesses—to access high-level expertise without maintaining a full-time internal team.

We don't just think like owners - we think like investors.
We Don't...
Deliver reports that collect dust
Disappear after strategy sessions
Outsource accountability.
Our team has started businesses, scaled them, funded them, and led them through growth, challenge, and exit. We understand what it means to make payroll, manage risk, allocate capital, and deliver results under pressure.
That experience shapes everything we do.
Our Approach Is Simple. Not Easy.
Discovery & Audit
We conduct a comprehensive review of strategy, finances, operations, risk, and execution to establish a clear baseline.
Planning & Priorities
We translate insight into a written plan—defined goals, budgets, accountability, and timelines. All with profitability in mind.
Execution & Leadership
We stay engaged. We manage, adjust, and lead alongside your team to ensure outcomes are achieved—not just discussed.

I have never met a design consultant with more energy, motivation and follow through that Gore Bolton; he applies himself fully to everything he does.I have never met a design consultant with more energy, motivation and follow through that Gore Bolton; he applies himself fully to everything he does.
Gore and his team have always been incredibly responsive and always attentive to detail... a pleasure to work with he and his team!Gore and his team have always been incredibly responsive and always attentive to detail... a pleasure to work with he and his team!
Gore has always been innovative in this industry. He is able to reduce any challenge into terms of scope, schedule, and budget, which define clear courses of action, time frames, and returns on that time. As such, he is always looking for the next service opportunity. "What are we doing well? - let's improve it." "What are we missing? - let's find a means to fulfill that need." He is also up to any challenge to expand opportunities. Business development creates growth, and growth increases capability to meet larger demands. Either for a specific business unit, for an overall corporate interest, or for a team/partnership, Gore creates relationships that frequently generate those business opportunities. Sometimes that is directly - we do business with a relationship he created - or indirectly - his relationships extend to others, and business results from second or third level interactions. He's ideally suited to those pursuits and those who work with him get to benefit from them - from top to bottom. It has been both challenging and rewarding to work with, and support him, in that vein.Gore has always been innovative in this industry.

It is not often that I have the opportunity of working with someone like Gore. We first met when Gore had an idea, which was a good idea but would require an intense amount of work and coordination. Gore has shown himself as a person who gets a sight on the goal and works endlessly to achieve that goal. There were many times when I believed he was reaching too far. Gore always proved me wrong. Gore is an achiever with a sharp mind that views things in multiple levels. It is a privilege working with him on projects.It is not often that I have the opportunity of working with someone like Gore.

I first met Gore as a peer in a CEO group within Vistage. I was impressed with his knowledge, commitment, insight and leadership in all professional and entrepreneurial aspects. I hold Gore in the highest regard and respect him professionally.I first met Gore as a peer in a CEO group within Vistage.

Gore is the true business professional. He hired me to coach one of his "not-so-stellar" employees and complimented the coaching sessions with his knowledge and expertise. We partnered strategically to grow his company revenue and brand. He provided the perfect insight and leadership to take his organization and team to the next level. I would highly recommend Gore for any leadership role, as he naturally has the brevity to get the job done!Gore is the true business professional.
