A Fractional CMO supports SaaS companies on a part-time, ongoing basis, providing senior marketing leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. An Interim CMO steps in temporarily to fill a leadership gap, such as parental leave or sudden departure, ensuring marketing operations and growth momentum continue without disruption.

An Interim CMO is ideal when your company faces a leadership gap, stalled pipeline growth, or pressure from investors to professionalize go-to-market operations. Interim support provides stability, strategic direction, and execution until a permanent hire is in place.

Most clients see results within 4-6 weeks. Katja Doemer starts with a fast audit of GTM gaps, aligns the revenue team, and launches initial campaigns quickly to stabilize pipeline contribution and keep growth on track.

A Fractional CMO delivers senior leadership and hands-on execution at a fraction of the cost and risk of a full-time hire. It is particularly valuable for SaaS scale-ups that need expertise and execution immediately but are not ready for a permanent executive hire.

Investors can expect three key outcomes: professionalized GTM operations, measurable pipeline improvements, and accelerated readiness for funding rounds or exits. Beyond the operational improvements, investors gain clear visibility into marketing performance with concrete action plans for continued growth. With extensive experience supporting PE-backed SaaS companies, Katja has consistently delivered results by stabilizing marketing functions, increasing pipeline contribution, and ensuring GTM strategies align with investor expectations and timeline requirements.

Engagements typically last from 3 to 12 months. Shorter projects often focus on filling a leadership gap or fixing urgent pipeline issues, while longer engagements involve building sustainable marketing engines that continue after handover to permanent teams.
