A story in The Telegraph this week captures exactly why fractional work is the future. The piece features insights from our Founder and CEO Roei Samuel, alongside the journey of Connectd member Michael Horsley who has reshaped his career on his own terms. Michael currently balances six fractional roles while working around 25–30 hours a week. He splits his time between strategic advisory work, mentoring, NED positions, supporting Leeds University Business School, and working as Fractional COO of an online grocery service. Michael is building a career with more variety, autonomy and impact, and his experience reflects a growing movement of experienced individuals choosing fractional work over traditional full-time roles. What’s powerful about Michael’s story is not just what fractional work has enabled for him, but the impact it has on the startups he supports. Access to senior expertise on a flexible basis gives early-stage businesses the strategic guidance they need without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire. It’s a model that allows founders to scale smarter, faster and more sustainably. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ghk5yqYn #FractionalWork #FutureOfWork #Connectd
