EXPERIENCE 175 | Gaining Traction with a Fractional C-Suite - Getting Down to Business with Jill Simonds, Founder and CEO of Savvy Strategic Partners

1 hour 58 minutes

By scanning Jill Simonds’ LinkedIn profile, one can see that she is achievement-oriented. Coordinator to Manager at her first career stop, and then Manager to Director at the next, and then Director of Marketing & Operations to Chief Operating Officer & Integrator. That last stop is where Jill earned her EOS stripes and Integrator Certification, and in 2023 she started her own firm, Savvy Strategic Partners.

Savvy helps EOS-implementing(ed) firms build their leadership team, by serving in the role of fractional Integrator, and sourcing and managing fractional C-Suite roles in Finance, Marketing, and Sales. For those small businesses trying to make the journey from small to middle-market, Savvy can often be a medium or longer term part of the team.

Jill grew up in Colorado Springs, with parents she described as very Irish, very Catholic, and very high-functioning alcoholics. She’s been strong and largely self-sufficient all her life, met her now-husband early in their stay at UNC, and brings a lot of power in a small package! In addition to all the above, Jill has built and sold an e-commerce business, operated a part-time photography business, earned a Masters in Organizational Leadership from CSU Global - and is a proud wife and mother! She’s smart and savvy, has a wonderful smile and an inspiring journey featuring hard work, constant learning, perseverance, and strong relationships.

I know that listeners will enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Jill Simonds.
