The short version: Below are five fractional CMO profiles from the O-CMO catalog with SaaS experience, all reference-checked with former clients and peers before publication, all available for a free intro call this month. Public tiers run €3,000 to €7,000+ per month, matching takes 5–7 days, and month one carries a replacement guarantee. This shortlist refreshes quarterly. Updated July 2026.
Disclosure: these are profiles on our own marketplace. Each name links straight to its live profile so you can read the bio, tags, and tier yourself.
Most “hire a fractional CMO” articles hand you a framework and then a contact form. This one hands you people. When a SaaS founder decides to hire a fractional CMO for SaaS, the next question is not “what is a fractional CMO.” It is “who is available, what have they done, and can I talk to them without a sales pitch.” So here is the shortlist: every operator below has SaaS in their industry tags, has completed O-CMO’s reference verification, and is bookable for a free 30-minute call. Not a directory scraped from LinkedIn. Real profiles, real references, real availability.

Comparison first, full profiles below. Tier, experience, and tags come from each person’s live profile page.
| Name | Tier | Strong at | SaaS-adjacent verticals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anatolii Rohalskyi | Essential | Strategy, lead gen, PPC, product marketing | SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech |

Who Are the Verified Fractional CMOs for SaaS Right Now?
1. Anatolii Rohalskyi
Anatolii Rohalskyi is an Essential-tier fractional CMO with 10 to 15 years of experience and a verified profile. His focus areas read like a demand-generation job description: marketing strategy, lead generation and outbound, content marketing, PPC and paid ads, and product marketing. That combination suits a SaaS team with a working product and an underworked pipeline, where the gap is not brand theory but a repeatable acquisition system. His industry tags cover SaaS, FinTech, and HealthTech / MedTech, so he has seen regulated and longer-cycle B2B motions, not just self-serve. He works in English and Ukrainian and is marked available now, which in a catalog of busy operators is worth more than it sounds.
2. Ian Shkuro
Ian Shkuro brings roughly 20 years as a CMO and marketing director, verified at Essential tier. His focus spans marketing strategy, content, PR and communications, branding, product marketing, and growth. His profile names past clients (Taryan Group, SPI Dubai, Avalon) and specific outcomes: an EdTech project delivering 100%-plus over plan, Dubai real estate work tied to $20M year-over-year profit growth, and 40% of Taryan units sold in three months. Verticals include SaaS, IT services, e-commerce, FinTech, and gaming, with market experience across EU, US, UK, MENA, and APAC. If your SaaS needs one senior generalist who has run teams and multiple channels across markets, he is the widest-range option on this list. Speaks English, Ukrainian, Polish, and Spanish.
3. Angela Rudenko
Angela Rudenko is a Professional-tier, verified partner marketing and GTM specialist who currently runs startup partner marketing for Google Cloud EMEA via Chesamel in London. Her profile is unusually specific: she negotiated 18 strategic marketing partnerships including Sifted Summit London and designed the video campaign that drove 40% of all verified registrations for Google Cloud Startup Connect 2024. Before that she landed the Google Workspace Affiliate Program in EMEA, onboarding 50-plus affiliate partners with 77% year-over-year growth in active lead partners, and was CMO at Jiffsy, a B2B PIM for Shopify. For a SaaS company that grows through partners and ecosystems rather than pure paid, she is the sharpest fit here. English and Ukrainian, covering SaaS, AI, and EdTech.
4. Dmytro Zubchenko
Dmytro Zubchenko is a Professional-tier, verified fractional CMO focused specifically on B2B engagements. His industry tags are SaaS, B2B services, and IT services, and his geographic markets are EU, DACH, and CEE, which maps neatly onto the European B2B SaaS companies O-CMO serves most. He has worked with O-CMO on engagements before, so we can vouch for the working relationship, not just the reference file. Based in Krakow, he offers real part-time capacity at 20 to 30 hours per week, enough to run marketing rather than advise on it from the sidelines. His core focus is marketing strategy: positioning, channel selection, and the operating plan a B2B SaaS team executes against. Works in English, Ukrainian, and Polish.
5. Margaret Lee (Kashuba)
Margaret Lee (Kashuba) is a Professional-tier, verified fractional CMO with 18 years across B2B SaaS, e-commerce, and product IT. Her profile describes 10-plus years turning scattered marketing activity into systems that move revenue, with CMO roles at Devart and TMetric. Her stated obsession is making sales and marketing speak the same language: pipeline numbers that match, attribution that is honest, and nobody blaming each other at the end of the quarter. Any founder who has sat through that exact argument will recognize the value. Focus areas span marketing strategy, content, PR, lead generation, and marketing analytics, with verticals in SaaS, IT services, EdTech, and AI across EU and US markets. English and Ukrainian.
Is This the Whole Catalog?
No. The full catalog holds 95 published profiles, filterable by vertical, tier, and focus area, and reference verification is rolling out across it profile by profile. This shortlist deliberately includes only people who have completed reference checks, because “verified” should mean something when it sits in the headline. As more SaaS-tagged profiles clear verification, they join the next edition. The list refreshes quarterly, so the Q4 2026 update will carry new names alongside anyone from this five still available.
How Does O-CMO Verification Actually Work?
“Verified” is a specific process, laid out in full on the how it works page. Every applicant fills a structured application covering experience, specialization, and 2 to 3 references. A scoring engine rates them 0 to 100 across five categories, with the point logic published, and assigns a tier. Then we contact their references directly, not through the candidate, with five short questions about how they worked and what they delivered.
Two or more positive references move a profile to activation. Scores near a tier threshold or mixed feedback trigger a manual review by the founder, Yaroslav. Only after all of that does the badge appear. That is the difference between this list and a directory: every name above has former clients and peers on record saying they would hire this person again.
How to Read the Tiers
O-CMO has four public tiers. Price reflects seniority and scope, and the marketer receives 70% of the fee. Here is what each tier maps to.
| Tier | Price / month | Typical operator | Best-fit SaaS stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | €3,000 | Senior specialist to head-of-marketing level | Bootstrapped or pre-seed, first marketing hire |
| Professional | €4,000 | Experienced CMO with multi-channel track record | Pre-seed to seed, 10–30 people, needs a system |
| Executive | €5,000 | Senior CMO, strong revenue and GTM depth | Series A and up, scaling pipeline |
| Enterprise | €7,000+ | Top-tier CMO, negotiated scope | Later-stage, complex or multi-market GTM |
A higher tier is not automatically better for you. An Essential-tier operator who has run demand gen for three SaaS startups can beat an Executive hire whose depth sits in enterprise motions you do not have yet. Match the tier to your stage and your gap, not to the biggest number you can afford. For the full pricing picture, see fractional CMO cost in 2026, and if you are still deciding whether the role fits at all, should I hire a fractional CMO is the honest version.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can I hire a fractional CMO for SaaS?
For the names on this list, you can book an intro call today and start within days of agreeing scope. If you want O-CMO to match you rather than pick from the catalog, matching takes 5 to 7 days. Month one carries a replacement guarantee, so the first weeks stay low-risk while the fit settles.
What does verification mean on O-CMO?
A verified profile has been reference-checked with former clients and peers before going live. We contact 2 to 3 references directly with five short questions, and two or more positive responses are required for activation. Edge cases get a personal review by the founder. Everyone on this shortlist has completed that process.
What if the fit misses after I hire?
Month one includes a replacement guarantee. If the first CMO is not right, we match you with another at no extra fee. After that, engagements run month to month with a 30-day notice period, and an account manager stays on the engagement to catch problems before they grow.
Can I talk to a CMO before committing?
Yes. Every profile offers a free 30-minute consultation. You use it to confirm fit, discuss your SaaS stage and goals, and see whether the working style matches. There is no obligation, and O-CMO prepares an individual offer only after that call, so you are never buying before you have spoken to the person.
The Bottom Line
Inventory is the thing a competitor cannot copy. Any site can publish a hiring framework; only a real marketplace can show you named, reference-checked operators with SaaS experience, their tiers, and a working intro-call button. Start with the one or two whose focus matches your gap, book the free calls, and let the fit decide. If none of the five lands, the full catalog goes deeper, and our fractional CMO services team runs a match for you in 5 to 7 days. For the broader startup angle, read fractional CMOs for startups. Next refresh: Q4 2026.
