In this episode of ConvHERsations with Kristie, Kristie Clayton sits down with Katie Walter, fractional Chief Marketing Officer and CEO of the Fractional Conference, to unpack the rise of fractional work, the future of leadership, and the freedom that comes with redefining our relationship with work.
Katie shares how she moved from a $13B company into fractional leadership, finding her way through trial, clarity, and connection. She breaks down the difference between consultants, agencies, interim leaders, and true fractional executives—emphasizing how embedded, part-time leadership can unlock strategy, align execution, and truly move the needle for growing businesses. Together, Kristie and Katie explore the generational shift in how we view work, the importance of integrating our personal and professional lives, and the systems that still need to evolve—like healthcare—before this way of working becomes truly mainstream.
They also talk about the annual Fractional Conference, building community for solopreneurs and second-in-commands, and why now is the time for leaders—especially women—to build on their own terms.
If you're exploring fractional work, building a portfolio career, or simply questioning the old rules of success, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a roadmap forward.
