FIT & FOCUS

CEO-in-Residence Program

For many founders, the biggest question isn’t just “What is my business worth?” — it’s “What happens to my team and customers after I step back?”

Our CEO-in-Residence program is designed to answer that question with confidence.

How It Works

1

Understand Your Goals

Clarify your timing, role post-transaction, and what a successful transition looks like.

2

Match with Experienced Operators

We introduce you to CEOs and operators with relevant industry and company-size experience.

3

Plan the Transition

Together, we define a clear handover plan that protects culture, customers, and performance.

Benefits for Founders

  • Comfort that the business will be led by capable hands
  • Time to step back gradually rather than overnight
  • Support for your existing management team
  • Continuity for employees, customers, and partners
