Vetted chief customer officers available for fractional, interim, or advisory engagements with companies in Dayton and across OH. Most engagements start inside two weeks.
The Dayton market for CCOs
Dayton's economy is built around aerospace research, defense contracting, advanced materials, and precision manufacturing, with a major Air Force installation anchoring demand. Contract cycles drive most hiring decisions. Interim and fractional executives are used to scale up and down without permanent headcount risk.
Why Dayton companies hire fractional CCOs
The typical trigger in this market is a contract award or ramp-down that changes the size of the business in a single quarter. A fractional CCO gives you the same executive seat and customer judgment on 1–3 days per week, without the base salary, equity, and benefits load of a permanent hire.
- Churn or NRR is trending the wrong way
- Support, success, and account management aren't coordinated
- You are moving from SMB to mid-market or enterprise
- The CS team is reactive and unowned
