“Executives-as-a-Service” firm earns back-to-back accolades on Consulting Magazine’s annual list of organizations disrupting the profession

HOUSTON, TX – November 8, 2018 – Chief Outsiders has earned the No. 34 spot on Consulting Magazine’s annual list of the nation’s fastest growing consulting firms – its second straight appearance on the list. The firm of more than 60 fractional Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) is one of only 75 companies to have earned the publication’s 2018 recognition.

The “Executives-as-a-Service” firm, which met the criteria in order to receive the honor, is uniquely positioned as a coast-to-coast team of top level chief marketers who have held a position of VP of marketing or higher. Each expert travels across the country to provide growth-oriented insights to private equity businesses, as well as a range of small- and mid-market enterprises. It is this distinction that provides unique value to more than 700 client companies – and one that allows the organization to stand out among other consulting firms.

Chief Outsiders Co-Principal Pete Hayes credited the firm’s rapid rise in 2018 to his part-time executives’ high client satisfaction rates in a range of industries and segments. “It’s been another momentous year for Chief Outsiders, not only for our continual success in the Private Equity sector, but for our double digit growth across the board. Soon, we’ll reach 70 part-time executives to meet the demand for our services.”

In addition to the Consulting magazine award, the firm was also recognized this year by Inc. Magazine as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for the fifth year in a row.

“Achieving our second consecutive ranking is an encouraging testament to our tribe of dedicated CMOs, who enjoy making big things happen for their clients – and relish in the opportunity to learn from and support one another,” Hayes said.
