# Fierce CRO

> Fierce CRO connects companies with fractional and on-demand chief revenue officers (CROs) — senior revenue leaders who run sales, marketing alignment, customer success and overall revenue strategy part-time or on demand, across finance, technology/SaaS, biotech, healthcare, hospitals & health systems, startups, manufacturing, private equity portfolios, professional services, ecommerce and management consulting. Tell us what you need and see the first name, face and basic bio of CROs in the network who match and have availability; agree to our terms and pay to unlock full résumés and contact details. CROs create a free profile and pick their disciplines. "CRO" is also commonly short for clinical research organization — a different kind of company that runs clinical trials for sponsors — and this site explains that meaning too, so you land on the right page either way.

Fierce CRO is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent CROs. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network.
