Business performance consulting

Your business needs senior firepower. Not another hire.

We provide executive leadership, consulting capability, and hands-on delivery wherever you need it most. Flexible, month to month, and built around your priorities.

Need some help?

Too many priorities, not enough people. The leadership team is spread thin and something always slips.
Revenue growth has stalled. You know there is opportunity, but the sales engine needs a push.
Operations are not keeping up. Processes that worked at half the size are now holding you back.

What you need is additional executive capacity. Someone who can own decisions, lead the work, and move things forward. We offer consulting and executive power, available on a flexible basis.

Why us

Why work with us

Executive experience, not just consulting experience

We have held C-suite and board-level roles. Built teams, scaled businesses, turned complex organisations around. That is the difference.

We work across the whole business

Most fractional services specialise in one function. We understand how sales, operations, commercial, digital and people fit together.

Built for NZ businesses

20 years of experience. We know what executive leadership looks like and how to deliver it without the overhead.

Month to month, no lock-in

We earn our place every month. If your needs change, so does the arrangement. That is how it should be.

What our clients say

Trusted by leaders building better businesses

BetterSaver is a Kiwisaver and financial advice platform. After success with version 1.0, we engaged with Tactical.ly to both be an advisor and to help us build a formal advisory panel. The support and advice has been incredible.
Joe Taylor
Founder and CEO, BetterSaver
Tactical.ly perfectly facilitated this complex and sometimes overwhelming design sprint. The client team had strong ideas and needed equally strong facilitation to ensure they were focused on the right ideas.
Richard Stone
General Manager, Ghost Street
I found Hayden and Hayley friendly and easy to work with. Their advice was sound, practical and achievable in the steps they set out. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Burnette O'Connor
Founder, The Planning Collective
Tactical.ly led a Design Sprint and it was a pleasure. Hayden's leadership and deep understanding of the consumer was vital. We have continued to engage with Tactical.ly leading our digital strategy and internal leadership.
Jono Buckley
Lead, Huntaway
We engaged with Tactical.ly for a design sprint initially. Hayden and his colleague facilitated and led a great process that was both a joy and extremely positive. We feel so confident about what we are building now.

Consulting questions

Senior leadership, exactly where you need it most

What businesses ask when they need executive capability without another full-time hire.

It's senior executive capability, available without the cost or commitment of a full-time C-suite hire. In practice that means someone who can own commercial decisions, lead a sales push, fix an operational bottleneck, run a project, or coach your leadership team. The work spans sales and revenue, operations, commercial and financial, leadership and people, digital and product, governance, and change.

Yes, and it's one of the things we're known for. The work covers building a sales system, developing go-to-market strategy, coaching a team to sell better, reviewing pitches and decks, and closing more business directly. Ghost Street lifted its win rate through Tactical.ly's sales capability coaching, and Nero Motion saw real gains in revenue from better business development processes.

Yes. We regularly take ownership of delivery, whether that's leading a specific project end to end, running product management for a team that's missing that function, or facilitating a design sprint to get a product concept moving. We don't just advise on how it should be done. We can step in and do it, alongside your team, until it's delivered.

That's exactly what the fractional executive model is for. If you've lost a COO, have a sales function with no head, or a founder carrying more than one person should, we can step in and own those priorities for as long as the gap exists. You get an experienced executive presence straight away, without the recruitment, onboarding, and full-time cost. When you're ready to hire, we help with succession and hand over cleanly.

It works across the range. Corporate and enterprise teams use us for fresh thinking and senior capacity when an internal team is stretched or has gone stale. Scale-ups use us to add executive experience they can't yet justify hiring. Founders use us as a thinking partner who has done the job before. Hayden has worked everywhere from early-stage startups to established organisations across three countries.

A management consultant advises. A fractional executive does the job. Hayden has held CEO, COO, sales director, and board roles, so the involvement is hands-on ownership rather than recommendation. You get someone who slots into the team, attends the meetings that matter, works the priorities, and is accountable for the outcome.

It starts with a fit check, a short conversation with no obligation. From there we agree the focus areas, hours, and pace that suit you, then embed in the team and start delivering. All three tiers are month-to-month with no lock-in. We earn our place every month. If the fit is right and the work is delivering, the relationship continues. If your needs change, the arrangement changes with them.
