Future of the C-Suite – Fractional, Interim and Project Based Management

• October 20, 2020

Matt Blumberg and his co-founders at Bolster know just how valuable it is to a business to have access to high-end, experienced, vetted senior talent. Having the right talent at the top is particularly for startups, because without that talent the startup may not make it through adolescence.

Fractional and interim executive placements have been ad-hock for years. PE firms and VCs have their stable of interim CEOs, CMOs and CFOs. The high level of trust from an existing interim or fractional team member is great, but sometimes lack of subject matter expertise in an industry is a big issue and so the current SWAT team doesn’t meet the need. Matt saw the need for a better solution and started Bolster.

I took the opportunity of the Bolster launch announcement to catch up with Matt and learn more.

Those of you been active in email marketing over the last twenty years, you’ll know Matt as the founder of Return Path, which provided a critical element of email validation to the email marketing community. Matt’s new venture is a result of all the unfilled needs he’s observed over the years, as an investor, advisor, and mentor.
