Interim and fractional leadership

A seat filled by someone who has held it.

Chief executive, president, chief operating, chief revenue or commercial, US market lead. For a brand between leaders, a brand entering the US, or a technology company that needs revenue from fashion and apparel accounts and does not yet have the person to bring it in. Two days a week or full time, for a defined period, with the scope in writing and a handover at the end. AI goes into the work from the first week, inside planning, reporting and the customer, with the team trained to run it after.

Operator first; the tools follow.

The seats

Five seats. One operator who has sat in them.

01

Chief executive or president

The founder steps back, the board needs an operator, or the plan needs running before the permanent hire is found.

02

Chief operating

The calendar, the systems and the team, run so the founder can design and sell.

03

Chief revenue or commercial

Wholesale, DTC and key accounts under one number. For brands, and for technology companies selling to them.

04

US market lead

A European brand's US business, built and run from New York until it stands on its own.

05

Advisor to the board or the fund

An operator in the room for the decisions on capital, channels and leadership, before and after the deal.

How a seat runs

Scope in writing. The seat. A handover built in from day one.

01 · Scope

The mandate

Two weeks

The decisions the seat owns, the numbers it answers for, the period, the handover date. Agreed before the first week.

02 · The seat

Run as the role

Two days a week or full time

Inside the team, with the title and the accountability. AI goes to work in planning, reporting and the customer from the first week.

03 · Handover

What stays

Set at the start

The playbook, the reporting and the trained team. The seat goes to a permanent hire, or closes when the plan no longer needs it.

For investors, lenders and boards

Due diligence, and the seat while the plan is executed.

When a brand is being bought, financed or fixed, the questions are the same ones the practices answer, written for a decision on capital. 0600 does commercial and operating diligence on fashion and consumer brands: the channels and the accounts, what the inventory is worth and how fast it turns to cash, the planning calendar, the team and the systems it runs on. The read is independent and methodology-based, and it is delivered in the form the deal needs: a memo, a model, or a working view of the data.

Interim leadership

When a seat has to be filled while the plan is executed, 0600 takes interim operating roles in brands: chief executive, president, chief operating, chief revenue or commercial seats, and US market lead, with a defined handover.

Questions

Three short answers.

What is a fractional seat?

A defined role inside the company, held two days a week rather than full time, with the same title, accountability and written scope as an interim seat. It suits a company that needs the seat's decisions made and owned, but not a full-time executive behind them yet.

Which companies does 0600 take seats in?

Fashion and consumer brands, and technology companies selling into fashion and apparel. In a brand the seat is usually chief executive, president, chief operating or US market lead. In a technology company it is usually chief revenue or commercial, bringing in the fashion and apparel accounts.

How long does a seat last?

A defined period, usually a season or a year, with the handover date set at the start. The seat goes to a permanent hire, or closes when the plan no longer needs it, and the playbook, the reporting and the trained team stay.
