The Modern Fractional Executive: Strategic Advisory, Board Leadership & Portfolio Roles
"Fractional" might be the hiring model for the company—but for the executive, it is a force multiplier.
The modern executive career is no longer confined to a single full-time trajectory. Today’s top operators are taking on multiple high-stakes mandates across different industries, growth stages, and company dynamics all at once. There is no long onboarding runway and no one to hand off the hard parts to—just pure, high-impact leadership.
Join the Berkeley Haas Alumni Network - Silicon Valley Chapter in Menlo Park on September 30 for an interactive panel discussion on how leading executives are shaping their value, navigating risk, and driving strategy in an AI-reshaped market.
Featured Panelists:
Lydia Flocchini - GTM Executive, Category Creator & Legal Tech Leader
Berk Algan — Cyber Risk, Security & Compliance, 40 under 40
Oksana Isakov - Self-employed CTO, Berkeley Haas problem-solver
Moderator: Nima Sherpa, EWMBA 2021
