We increased volume with our major customers, nearly doubled our aftermarket business, and created a predictive maintenance offering. Chief Outsiders is a valuable resource and a great company to work with that we highly recommend.

Our CMO was a great resource to scale our department and position us for the next phase. You will not find anyone who worked harder than our team, but we can't manufacture decades of successful marketing leadership experience.

About Chief Outsiders
Chief Outsiders provides on-demand, fractional and interim go-to-market leadership for companies that need faster, more measurable revenue growth without committing to full-time executive hires. The firm places experienced CMOs, CSOs, CROs and related CXO-level operators into client organizations, focusing on aligning marketing and sales, building growth strategy, and driving execution. The company positions itself as an integrated growth engine combining executive leadership (Chief Outsiders), an execution arm (Team Outsiders™) that can be added “in days,” and its proprietary GrowthGears® methodology and GrowthGears® OS platform. Its approach centers on the Growth Gears framework—Insight, Strategy, and Execution—designed to translate market and customer understanding into actionable go-to-market programs. Chief Outsiders highlights scale and credibility through quantified proof points and process claims: more than 2,000 clients served, work with 300+ private equity firms, a reported 75 NPS score, and coverage across 70+ industries. It also emphasizes selective hiring (accepting less than 4% of applicants) and collaborative delivery through Growth Councils and the AI-enabled GrowthGears OS platform.
