# Fractional | Seoul > Fractional executive search for SMEs in Seoul, South Korea. We match vetted, part-time C-suite leaders (CFO, COO, CMO, CTO, CRO and CHRO) to your stage, sector and challenge. Also: non-executive directors drawn from a collective of vetted C-suite operators. The home of fractional leadership. Executive search, done fractionally. Senior C-suite leaders embedded into Korean businesses for the share of time the work actually needs, contracted company to company, at 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time appointment. For founder-led scale-ups, suppliers to the large groups and companies taking a Korean product abroad: a funding round to prepare, a first real management layer, or an overseas expansion that needs someone who has run one. Fractional is the fractional executive search partner for SMEs. We draw on a curated, vetted collective of 350+ senior executives and embed the right one directly into your business as an operator who holds the decisions in their domain and is accountable to outcomes, not a consultant who advises and steps away. Every engagement is business to business, at 4 to 24 hours per week over six to twenty-four months, scalable on one month's notice. Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a full-time hire. Fractional is live in Seoul: brief a search and we will match a leader from the local collective, or apply to join it. Fractional | Seoul is part of Fractional Global, live across the Middle East and Asia Pacific. What sets Fractional Seoul apart: - **Operators from the companies that scaled**: Seoul has produced a generation of leaders who took platforms, games, commerce and hardware businesses from founder-run to listed. That experience is scarce inside a growing company and rarely available to one full time. - **Seniority without the severance accrual**: A permanent executive in Korea accrues a statutory retirement allowance from day one and is difficult to release without just cause. A company-to-company engagement carries neither, with one month notice either way. - **Built for the move abroad**: Growth for a Korean company usually means another market. We place operators who have taken a Korean business into the United States, Japan or South East Asia and know where that plan normally breaks. ## Executive roles - [Fractional CFO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-cfo): finance leadership for funding rounds, board reporting and cash flow. - [Fractional COO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-coo): operators who turn strategy into delivery as the business scales. - [Fractional CMO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-cmo): positioning and the marketing engine, built and run for real return. - [Fractional CTO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-cto): technical direction across architecture, product and delivery. - [Fractional CRO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-cro): revenue leadership aligning sales, marketing and go-to-market. - [Fractional CHRO](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/fractional-chro): people, culture and compliance aligned to how the business needs to grow. - [All services](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services): every fractional C-suite role we place in Seoul. ## Board and governance - [Non-Executive Directors](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/services/non-executive-director): board appointments: non-executive directors drawn from a collective of vetted C-suite operators. ## Solutions by business moment - [SMEs](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/smes): the senior leadership layer, without the full-time cost. - [Startups](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/startups): senior operators who have done it before, without the burn rate. - [Scale-ups](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/scale-ups): leadership for the growth phase, deployed as a stack when needed. - [Family businesses](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/family-businesses): professionalise the business, protect the family. - [Fundraising](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/fundraising): investor-ready finance leadership for the raise ahead. - [Turnaround](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/turnaround): crisis and turnaround operators, matched and moving within days. - [Market entry](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/market-entry): enter Seoul with a leader who already knows the market. - [Private equity](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/private-equity): PE-fluent operators for portfolio companies. - [Investment firms](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/investment-firms): a vetted collective of leaders for your portfolio. - [Revenue growth](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions/revenue-growth): commercial leadership accountable for outcomes. - [All solutions](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/solutions): browse every business moment we support. ## Get started - [Apply to join the collective](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/apply): for senior executives who want to work fractionally. - [Brief a search](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/contact): tell us the moment and we will match a leader. ## Optional - [Readiness assessment](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/tools/fractional-executive-readiness-assessment): a short check on whether your business is ready for a fractional leader. - [Articles](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/articles): guidance on hiring and working with fractional executives. - [Events](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/events): workshops, summits and mixers for founders and executives. - [Media](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/media): talks, interviews and coverage. - [Become an ambassador](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/champion): help build the Seoul collective. - [llms-full.txt](https://www.fractional-seoul.com/llms-full.txt): the expanded version of this file, with full article text and events. - [Fractional Global](https://www.fractional-global.com): the wider collective across the Middle East and Asia Pacific. --- Fractional | Seoul.
