Fractional · Retainer-based · Founder-led
We sit on your leadership team and build the people infrastructure your company needs to scale. Not advisory. Not a deck. Real work, alongside the team.
Founder-led companies hit a wall around the time their team gets too big for one person to hold in their head. Roles blur. Managers struggle. Hiring becomes reactive. The CEO is solving people problems instead of running the business.
Market Table sits at the table with leaders during this stage — not as an advisor handing over a deck, but as an embedded operator who builds the people infrastructure the company actually needs.

Decks handed off without execution
We embed in the leadership team for a minimum of three months. We're in the room for hard decisions, not just the kickoff. We sit on the leadership team — not on the sidelines.
The frameworks, documents, and conversations we leave behind should be easy to read and easy to use. Plain language. Built for the company you're actually running.
"Builders, not advisors. Decks don't move companies. Implementation does."
30 minutes to understand where the company is, what's breaking, and whether this is the right moment for embedded people leadership. No pitch deck.
Three things first, in this order. We map the first 90 days — what gets built, who owns it, what done looks like. Specific names, specific deliverables.
Weekly working sessions, project planning, and ongoing decision support. We attend leadership team meetings. We are in the work alongside the team.
At 90 days, you have a working people infrastructure. We either extend the engagement or hand off cleanly to your first full-time people hire.
Two tiers. Three-month minimum. No hidden fees. You know what you're getting before we start.

All engagements begin with a fit conversation. If it's not the right match, we'll say so.
"I started Market Table because the founders I worked with kept hitting the same wall — and the help they needed didn't exist yet."
I've spent my career inside operating teams — not consultancies. I've been the person in the room when a company doubles its headcount in six months and the people infrastructure cracks under the weight of it. I know what breaks first, and I know how to fix it.
Market Table is the fractional people leader I wish founders could have called ten years ago. Embedded in the work, not above it. We build alongside the team and stay until the work is real.
Thirty minutes. No pitch deck. We'll talk about where your company is and whether embedded people leadership is the right move right now.
