About Us
2021Founded inWe match growth-stage B2B CEOs with the leader their company needs, whether that is a fractional executive working 10 to 20 hours a week on what is slowing your growth, or a full-time hire when the seat calls for someone every day.
Every match is curated. Never mass-recruited.
Our Story
For 15+ years, I’ve been embedded in the DC/MD/VA startup scene, as a Deloitte consultant, a traveling sunglasses salesman, a startup CEO, an incubator director, and a Georgetown adjunct professor. I’ve sat across from hundreds of founders & CEOs. And I kept seeing brilliant people, running great businesses, completely buried under roles that weren’t theirs to carry.
One week later, my wife and I found out we were expecting our first son.
That kind of timing changes what you're willing to accept. I couldn't keep watching founders trade their families and their health for a problem that had a better solution.
Client Reviews
We eliminate that risk. One diagnostic. One plan. Multiple fractional executives to choose from.
Our Values
Our values at Malloy Industries are how we hire, how we communicate, and how we decide what to do when things get hard.
Generous before we get. We give first. Always. To clients, to each other, to the work.
Honest about the full picture. We share the real picture. What’s working, what isn’t, what we’d do if it were our business.
Dad jokes included. If you’re not enjoying the work, we’re doing something wrong.
Micromanagement doesn’t exist here. Neither bureaucracy. Everyone owns their work and executes with autonomy.
Growth mindsets flourish by researching our way to victory and asking for helpful resources to solve new problems.
The People
We’re the people who find your executive, make the introduction, and stay involved long enough to know it’s working.
Hiring the wrong person costs more than money. It costs months and confidence. For as long as you're an active client, if your fractional executive isn't the right fit, we will find a better relentlessly generous fractional executive who is. No additional fee. No expiration. No figuring it out alone.
"Fear of the unknown. Fear of not knowing Mike Malloy or Malloy Industries and having to trust that they were good at their jobs. That's why we almost didn't invest...The Malloy Industries team built trust very quickly with their transparency and consistency."
Leora DavalosCo-Founder & CEO, Thrive Digital Health"It became clear in the first 2 weeks of the onboarding process that Malloy Industries was actually dedicated to understanding the root causes of our problems. I was impressed with the thoroughness, diligence, and well documented process. They were clear in how it works and helped me feel confident that they know what they're doing."
Alex EstepCo-Founder & COO, Little Arms Studios"Honestly, I was concerned about the upfront cost and risk associated with making the 7.5k investment...Working with Malloy definitely made finding a good fit to lead our sales team a lot easier. Unlike competitor firms or individual fractionals, who might rush to figure out the quickest thing they can start working on to make money ASAP without understanding all the variables, the Malloy Industries team invested a lot of time to deep dive into the business."
Kyle BishopCo-Founder & CEO, Little Arms StudiosFive Years In
We started because the problem was real and the solution existed. CEOs were carrying roles that were never theirs to carry, and the right executive was usually a match away.
Five years and 150+ matches in, the model works. The team has grown, and the network is now 750+ vetted executives we know by name.
Some of those fractional executives went full time with the CEOs we matched them with, and it showed us what it takes to get a full-time hire right. So now we recruit for that too. Malloy Industries places fractional executives, fractional leads, and full-time hires, and we run every search the way we have always made matches. We know the people we put in front of you, we stay involved after the introduction, and we stand behind the fit.
We’re still doing the same thing we set out to do, connecting CEOs who need real leadership with people who can provide it.
No long discovery phase. No weeks of back-and-forth. From first call to embedded operator in 14 days or less.

The most common questions growth-stage CEOs and Founders ask before working with Malloy Industries.
A fractional executive owns a function end to end, turning what lives in your head into systems your team can run, so you stop being the single point of failure.
The goal is to remove you as the single point of failure in the part of the business that is eating your time, so you get back to the work only you can do.
We have 150+ clients who trust us with their businesses, and we're happy to connect you directly with CEOs we've helped. Just book a discovery call and ask.
If you've hired a consultant who delivered a beautiful deck and disappeared, or a "fractional CMO" who talked a big game and produced nothing, your guard should be up.

A fractional sales executive can help you if you have:
Yes, the free Scalability Audit pinpoints where the gaps are, how severe they are, and what to fix first.
You will know:
A fractional executive makes more sense when you need the expertise now, but not 40 hours a week and not as a $300k+ bet on one person.
Most growth-stage companies aren't ready for a full C-suite. Paying $300k+ to one person is a huge bet you're not ready for yet.
Fractional is the bridge that gets you enterprise-level leadership without enterprise-level risk.
Most fractional executives run between 4k and 15k per month, depending on seniority, scope, and how much of their time you need. That is the blended monthly investment, and it is the number you plan around.
No, at your stage you probably already have a CEO bottleneck, and the problem is far cheaper to fix now than after it compounds.
the sweet spot is usually above 3 million, but the decision sums up to:
Yes, we design the onboarding and introduction process to set your fractional executive up for credibility from day one.
In our experience, teams respect competence, clarity, and follow-through, and they will be relieved. They've been waiting for someone to bring structure, accountability, and expertise to a function that's been held together with duct tape.
