Business is shifting in ways you can’t ignore.
I've been in your position...
It’s 2:17 AM.
You’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. Not because you’re not tired—but because you can’t shut your brain off.
The numbers keep running through your head.
-
Sales are decent, but unpredictable.
-
Marketing is busy, but you’re not sure it’s actually working.
-
Ops is grinding, but somehow everything still feels… slow and disconnected.
-
You’ve invested in software, but your tech stack feels like an expensive junk drawer.
AI is accelerating competitors, customers are changing overnight, and economic pressure has margin for error vanishing.
Those who adapt today will own the market tomorrow.
Those who hesitate will spend the rest of their careers chasing the leaders… and may never catch up.
You keep asking yourself:
“Why does this still feel harder than it should?”
It’s not that you don’t have talent.
Your people are good.
It’s that Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Technology aren't operating as a one-piece orchestra.
Here’s the part most leaders miss— when no one owns that bridge, the business doesn’t stall all at once.
It becomes death by papercut…
That’s why I built The Mangione Group.
Because the worst time to ask for directions is after you’ve driven 50 miles the wrong way.

Why Fractional Executives?
High-Level Expertise Without Full-Time Overhead
You get C-suite brainpower and experience at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.
Immediate Impact on Growth & Strategy
Fractional executives plug in quickly, bringing proven frameworks, strategies, and leadership that accelerate results instead of slowing things down with a long ramp-up.
Objective Perspective & Clarity
Because they’re not entrenched in company politics, they spot blind spots, identify bottlenecks, and provide fresh, unbiased solutions that internal teams may overlook.
Results That
Pay for Themselves
By cutting inefficiencies, unlocking new revenue, and driving smarter decisions, a fractional executive often generates returns far beyond their cost.
Typical outcomes & targets
-
15–30% faster speed-to-lead and speed-to-quote
-
10–25% lift in close rates via scripting + coaching
-
20–40% reduction in CAC by killing poor channels early
-
25–50% fewer handoff errors and rework in the first 60–90 days
Your mileage will vary—because your constraints are unique. We’ll find them, fix them, and measure the change.
Our Process
Our Business Performance & Scalability System is designed to create momentum across every part of your company.
From strategy and R&D to sales, marketing, operations, and beyond — we align each function into one seamless growth engine. The result: fewer bottlenecks, clearer processes, and a business that scales smoothly without sacrificing performance.
Every step is tailored to your company, so you’re not just growing — you’re growing smarter, faster, and stronger.
What makes us different?
Fractional time, full-time outcomes. You get an executive who leads, decides, and ships—without adding a six-figure headcount.
-
No guessing. We test cheap, read the truth, and let the data pick the winner.
-
Hard conversations included. If a metric is lying, a process is broken, or a person is blocking the win, we deal with it—professionally and fast.
-
One owner across the stack. No more “marketing says,” “sales says,” “ops says.” There’s one accountable owner aligning all four.
-
Playbooks that outlast me. I build systems your team can run without me. That’s the point.
Businesses Get Stuck...
As the author of The Unstuck Method, I understand on a deep level why people—and businesses—stall out. Stuck isn’t about laziness or lack of talent; it’s about friction, misalignment, and systems that don’t serve the mission. I don’t just write about getting unstuck—I build the strategies that move companies forward.
The hardest prison to escape is the one we build inside our own minds. Getting unstuck isn’t about fixing what’s broken — It’s about remembering you were never broken.

Frequently Asked Questions
We already have a COO, VP of Sales/Marketing, CTO. Will you replace them?
No. I don’t replace talent unless data proves there’s a permanent misfit. My role is to stabilize, up-level, and align your leaders so they’re rowing in the same direction. If someone’s blocking progress, we’ll surface it quickly and deal with it head-on.
We’ve tried consultants before—what makes you different?
Consultants hand you binders. I build systems.
Consultants leave you with notes. I leave you with playbooks, scripts, and dashboards your team can run tomorrow morning.
You don’t pay for theory—you pay for execution.
Will this add work for me as the CEO/Founder?
Short term: a little. We’ll need your fingerprints on the strategy in the first two weeks.
Long term: much less. My job is to pull you out of the weeds and free up hours for you to lead, not chase fires.
How much time do you actually give us?
I’m fractional, but when I’m on, you have my full attention. That usually looks like 1–3 days per week embedded with your team (virtually), plus async support. You don’t get 40 hours—you get the decisions and leadership that matter most.
Are you onsite or remote?
100% remote. Here’s why that’s an advantage:
-
Speed: No travel delays, no waiting—decisions happen instantly.
-
Cost: You don’t pay for flights or downtime.
-
Global reach: I can pull in specialists, data, and insights instantly, from anywhere.
-
Focus: When we meet, it’s surgical. No “office small talk,” just impact.
Remote doesn’t dilute execution. It accelerates it.
What’s your fee structure?
Scope-based. No hourly nickel-and-dime. You know the cost upfront. I price based on ROI potential—if I can’t credibly show a path to multiples of your investment, we don’t start.
What if this doesn’t work?
Then we’ll know fast. I design for quick tests and early signals. If after 30–45 days we’re not seeing traction, we don’t drag it out. You’ll still walk away with clarity, systems, and insights worth more than the check you cut.
What kind of companies do you turn down?
-
Companies who want a “yes-man.” If you don’t want honest feedback, I’m not your guy.
-
Teams who won’t share real data. I can’t fix what I can’t see.
-
Leaders chasing vanity metrics or short-term optics. If you’re gaming your next funding round instead of building a durable machine, it won’t fit.
-
CEOs who want magic without involvement. You’ll need to engage in the first 2 weeks. After that, I’ll run it.
Who gets the best results working with you?
Leaders who:
-
Are ready for uncomfortable clarity.
-
Care about long-term, compounding growth—not hacks.
-
Value execution over theater.
-
Want someone who will own outcomes, not just advise.
If that sounds like you, we’ll work well together. If not, you’ll probably find me “too direct.”
