AT C-SWEET WE CARE ABOUT YOUR
ORGANIZATION, YOUR TIME, & YOUR MONEY.
We are a trusted partner who serves as the extension of your leadership team.
Get Role Clarity
When a new role is needed, the capabilities and type of expertise might not be immediately clear. Fresh eyes can help determine what skillsets would benefit you in the long-run.
Avoid Unnecessary Cost
Choosing the wrong C-hire for your team can have significant consequences. A bad hire costs time and money.
Pivotal Time
A C-Sweet partner at your fingertips means greater flexibility. We provide support only when you need it, keeping your executive team fresh and agile – on your terms.
The average tenure of a CMO is 3.5 years – the lowest of any C-Suite executive. The tenure continues to decline and is at its lowest point in 10 years
Experts estimate the cost of a bad executive hire can range from 5-15xs salary.
The culture effect of a bad hire can result in the loss of up to 5 of your high potential executive talents. This is your future leadership.

Chief of Staff
Talent Strategy.

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There – When You Know it’s Time to Transform
Until very recently, I’d worked in businesses in the tens of billions in revenue all my life. I am no management scientist, but what’s been remarkable as someone on the inside of all these colossues (colossi?) is that they have all ended up in a similar pattern.
What Got You Here Won’t Get You There – When You’re at the Tipping Point
“You know what’s so awesome about working at a start up?” a friend asked me recently. As someone who until recently had always worked at giant slow-moving oil tankers of companies, I had to screw up my eyes and search my brain. He took pity on me eventually.
