The decision this solves
Whether the embedded finance line gets a real owner now — without committing to a full-time executive hire.
Who it's for
Companies whose embedded finance line — most often payments — is big enough to need an owner but not yet a full-time GM.
Questions we answer
- Who owns the payments P&L until it justifies a full-time GM?
- We are adding lending on top of payments — who runs both as one business?
- What should the vendor relationship look like day to day?
- When do we hire the permanent owner, and what does that role look like?
What it covers
- Own the P&L, vendor relationships, and roadmap for the embedded finance line
- Run pricing, risk, and compliance conversations with providers
- Build the internal playbooks and hire the eventual full-time owner
- Report to the exec team with operator-grade metrics
How the engagement works
An ongoing fractional engagement inside your team — time commitment and depth agreed up front, with a built-in handoff to your eventual full-time hire. Most engagements start with payments as the biggest line and widen from there.
What we'll need from you
- Access to your payments, lending, or card data and vendor contacts
- A clear internal sponsor on the executive team
- The current state of playbooks and reporting, however rough
What you leave with
An embedded finance business that is run, not just live.
