Fractional and interim executive consulting services in Milan, Italy

In short

Action Is Now delivers management consulting built on execution. We provide fractional and interim executive leadership (CMO, CEO, COO), turnaround and restructuring, growth and international expansion, go-to-market, sales transformation, and marketing strategy and operations. Each engagement is led by a former C-level operator and scoped to a measurable outcome.

Fractional CRO (Chief Revenue Officer)

One operator owns the whole revenue number: sales, marketing and revenue ops aligned and accountable.

A temporary export manager who opens your foreign markets on a fixed term: strategy, sales network and first customers. Accountable for the result.

Turnaround CEO: an operator who takes command and delivers the recovery

A turnaround CEO steps into the top seat of a struggling company, stops the cash bleed, fixes the cost base and rebuilds the commercial engine. Accountable for the result, not the advice.

Executives for hire: senior leaders in the seat, fast

Executives for hire on a fractional, interim or temporary basis. A former C-level operator takes the seat in days, runs the work and is accountable for the result.

Temporary manager: senior cover for a gap, project or transition

A temporary manager in the seat in days to cover a gap, lead a project or carry a transition, with full accountability for the outcome.

How to choose

If senior leadership is required without a full-time hire, consider fractional and interim. If cash is constrained or the plan has stalled, initiate a turnaround. If product-market fit is established and the constraint lies within the operational engine, focus on growth, go-to-market, or marketing.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes our services from a traditional consultancy

A traditional consultancy advises and departs. Action Is Now assumes the operational role, runs the function, and remains accountable for the result.

Can services be integrated

Yes. Most engagements combine a fractional mandate with specific growth, turnaround, or go-to-market initiatives.

What is the difference between fractional, interim, and temporary management?

Fractional means part-time, ongoing senior leadership, typically a few days a month. Interim means full-time leadership for a fixed period, usually to cover a gap or run a crisis. Temporary management is the Italian framing of the same idea: a senior operator placed for a defined mandate. We deliver all three, scoped to the outcome you need.

Which executive roles do you cover?

We operate as fractional or interim CEO, CMO, COO, CRO, and General Manager, plus turnaround, go-to-market, and international expansion mandates. The common thread is P&L ownership and accountability for the result, not advice from the sidelines.

How fast can a mandate start?

We can scope a mandate in days and start within one to two weeks. When speed is critical we draw on our network to assemble a full team in as little as 48 hours.

How much do fractional and interim services cost?

Fractional mandates run on a monthly retainer, interim mandates on a day rate or fixed monthly fee. There is no recruitment fee, equity, notice period, or severance, so you pay for senior delivery, not overhead.

How do I hire a fractional or interim executive for a specific goal?

To hire a fractional or interim executive for a specific goal, pick the service closest to your need and book a call. We scope it to the result you want and can start within 48 hours.

How do I find the right executive service for my company?

To find the right service, match your priority (turnaround, growth, go-to-market, sales or marketing) to the relevant page. Each one is delivered by a senior operator who has run that function in a real business.
