Fractional Chief Executive Officer

Company Description Altevere is an all-female interim and advisory firm that places experienced senior executives inside Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our leaders step into CEO, CFO, CPO, and COO roles on an interim or fractional basis, owning outcomes and driving results from day one. Engagements typically run 3 to 5 days per month, giving growing companies executive-level leadership at a fraction of the cost of a permanent hire. Clients can engage one of our executives or a full leadership team, with one accountable point of contact and seamless integration into their business. Based in Ottawa, Altevere has deep roots across Ontario, Northern Ontario, and Atlantic Canada, and is expanding into underserved markets such as Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We deliver accessible, embedded leadership that helps growing organizations scale with confidence.
