The Employee Contract Is Broken.

It's time for a new model.

Verdon Partners embeds as a true executive partner. Think of it as a VP who can actually deliver. Strategy, product, narrative, and the first mile of execution.

Founder speed • Insider outcomes • First-mile focus

How It Works

What You Actually Get

Not staff. Not agency. A partner who diagnoses, designs, builds, and makes the story land with customers, boards, and investors. The method is proprietary. The outcomes are not negotiable: clarity, momentum, shipped product. Built to prove. Scaled by the right team. Built for CEOs frustrated by slow, political teams and for founders who need traction fast.

One Partner. First-Mile Outcomes.

One accountable owner. Many disciplines.

Verdon Partners sits on your leadership team in a fractional VP role. Embedded like an executive and independent. Unlike traditional VPs who only delegate, this model combines leadership with execution so progress happens without the drag.

The Operating System

Diagnose: Name the real constraint.

Design: Product, story, and go-to-market as one.

Build: Set prototypes that prove direction.

Prove: Ship the proof. Ready the handoff.

Scale: Systematize; hire only where leverage demands it.

You’ll see the moves, not the mechanics.

Modes of Engagement

Embedded Partner (Retainer)

Executive scope, measurable outcomes.

Embedded + Equity

Reduced cash, aligned upside. Highly selective.

Advisor / Investor

Inflection points, board-level work, critical reviews.

Capacity: 2–3 companies.

Why This Is Different

Most executives manage functions. Most agencies sell deliverables. Verdon Partners delivers coherent outcomes. It is the thing customers buy, boards fund, and teams can scale. Strategy, product, story, build. One line of effort. The difference is simple: a VP who manages versus a VP who delivers.
