I'm Deidra Colvin. Companies bring me in as a fractional or interim strategy and transformation executive when AI or another major change is coming and no one on the team owns it full-time. We start with a short readiness assessment. Then I lead the work alongside your team, in the role and for the time your company needs.
Most advisors hand you a plan. I take the seat and lead it until your team owns it.
For CEOs, owners, boards, and private equity operating partners.
Find out where you stand before the next big commitment. A three-to-four-week readiness assessment for your executive team, covering AI and the leadership, strategy, people, and structure needed to act on it. Fixed fee: $15,000.
Explore the assessmentPart-time strategy and transformation leadership, embedded with your executive team. Typically one to four days a week for six to twelve months.
How fractional worksFull-time leadership for a defined period: a vacant seat, an acquisition, or a major change that needs one accountable owner. A clear mandate, an end date, and a handoff.
How interim worksA first readout in weeks, not months.
The Load Line™ Assessment shows where you stand and what to address first.
Three to four weeks.
We agree on priorities, my role, and how long you need me.
Agreed within your first month.
I lead the work with your team, adapting to what your company needs.
One to four days a week, or full-time as interim.
Your leaders own what we built, and I step out.
The final 30 days focus on transition.
I've spent 30 years in operating roles, more than a decade of them in the C-suite as a CEO, COO, CMO, and, most recently, Chief Revenue & Strategy Officer at Lucas Oil Products. I hold a doctorate in business administration.
Leaders need to decide where the time goes before they count it as business value.
The real AGI race is a human one: as AI grows more capable, so must we.
Accountability only works if the person who owns it can interrupt the agent and recover, so test that before you expand what your agents can do.
I lead strategy and transformation work as part of your executive team, part-time, for a defined period. That usually means aligning leaders on priorities, deciding where AI fits, redesigning roles and how work gets done, and carrying the change through to adoption. Some companies call this role a fractional Chief Transformation Officer.
Fractional is part-time, typically one to four days a week, alongside your existing leaders. Interim is full-time for a defined period, usually when a seat is open or a major change needs one accountable owner.
It's the usual starting point, because it shows where to focus and how fast you can move. If you already have a clear picture, we can start directly with a fractional or interim engagement.
CEOs, owners, executive teams, boards, and private equity operating partners, usually at companies with $20 million or more in revenue, across industries.
Much of a transformation seat's value comes in the first two or three years, while the business is being redesigned. A fractional or interim executive gives you that leadership for as long as the change takes, without adding a permanent seat to the C-suite.
