Mr. Norton grew two startup businesses to over $100 million in sales in less than 5 years each, disrupting two industries. He has created and managed over 30 product launches and helped with 150+ others as a consultant or interim executive. Some dominated their markets.
Mr. Norton has worked with hundreds of clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups to improve CEO, Executive and Manager performance.
As a CEO for over 25 years, he has the “Been There, Done That” experience to guide any CEO, Executive or business to success. Unlike most coaches Mr. Norton has run both small and large companies for decades.
Bob was a CEO at high-growth companies for 14 years (= 28,000 hours experience) before becoming a full-time interim executive and consultant. He developed his management and leadership skills while creating over $1 billion in value for investors. He can help in any area of a business at the strategic level.
Mr. Norton shares success strategies few people know. Bringing strong life experience, wisdom, and critical thinking to the table is the key to results. An fractional executive must provide leadership, strong input and a point of view from their real-world experience and expertise. Most business coaches lack that experience.
What are the differences between a Fractional Executive and a Management Consultant?
Management consultants advise and recommend. Fractional and Interim executives advise, recommend and take “ownership” of the results. They become an integral part of the team ongoing. They own and drive projects, departments and teams according to corporate strategic objectives. They take on a fiduciary responsibility to the company acting in the best interest of the company.
ALL PROGRAMS INCLUDE
Dedicated availability with reserved time monthly, weekly, or daily as needed.
On call instant support for fast decisions and help for unplanned events and questions.
Training, Coaching and mentoring of other team members to improve any team’s capabilities.
Companies cannot always afford a full-time CEO, COO or additional executive skills. With a fractional executive you can have this capability at 10% or 20% of the cost avoiding strategic errors that can kill companies and cost millions in lost opportunities.
I have known Bob for about 15 years. He is a very bright, creative, and experienced executive. His combination of big company and entrepreneurial experiences have given him an excellent platform for advising others. . . . Bob can always be relied upon to steer you in the right direction.

I have been privileged to be touched by people who have had a large influence on my thinking. Richard Branson for his inspiration and motivation of what is possible. Anthony Robbins who helped me take the first step in understanding human neural linguistics and associated communications. And Bob Norton who inspired my business thinking in different tangents.
Boaz Fischer, CEO, CommsNet, Australia
Bob Norton is an amazing person. He has an undefinable sixth sense about business and its many moving parts.
