CHICAGO, IL – July 21, 2022 – Carol Franczek – a longtime senior marketer with executive marketing leadership roles across hospital & healthcare, beauty, food, household products, retail, and e-commerce markets — will now deliver strategies and expertise as a member of Chief Outsiders – one of America’s top fractional executive firms. As the company surpasses 110 fractional CMOs who are available for assignments, Franczek adds yet another dimension for companies that seek to gain market leadership in their competitive selling environments.

Franczek has partnered with CEOs in both fast-paced start-up, entrepreneurial and established businesses to ignite brands by building successful and differentiated marketing programs. Along the way, Franczek’s leadership has driven the kind of transformational results that lead to measurable revenue growth and improvement on the bottom line.
