Why this topic matters

The path from Executive to full-time Consultant, Advisor or Fractional Leader is one that many seasoned leaders are taking. But often, these terms ("fractional" "consultant" "advisor") are thrown around interchangeably. In this Lightning Lesson, you will dive into the differences between each of these service models, and walk away understand the benefits and drawbacks of each.

Amanda Schwartz Ramirez

Advisor and Consultant, former Strategy & Ops exec at PayPal and Dapper Labs.

Hi! I'm Amanda Schwartz Ramirez, a strategy and operations executive, advisor and board member. Over the last 15 years, I've built and scaled high-performing organizations at their earliest stages, during hyper-growth, and at Fortune 500 scale.


Currently, as an advisor and founder of Garden Labs, I help venture-backed CEOs and COOs hone a more focused strategy and scale more intentionally. I also work closely with publicly-traded companies to advise on emerging tech.


I built a comprehensive course that details how other execs can on-ramp into consulting full-time, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and missed opportunities. This course matters to me because it took time and cycles to take this path myself -- and I want other seasoned execs to know what is available to them.
