About
A talent collective built on one conviction: curation beats volume.
Seat & Signal™ LLC is a Connecticut-based curated talent collective for fractional executive placement, interim leadership, and board search, serving companies and executives across the United States, remote-first. The name is the model: the signal is the talent; the seat is the result.
Why we exist
Two sides of the same gap
Companies below enterprise scale can't access senior executive judgment affordably or quickly — traditional search is priced for full-time hires, and directories leave the vetting to the buyer. Meanwhile, exceptional executives building portfolio careers lose the infrastructure their firms provided: the deal flow, the peers, the pricing intelligence, the board pathway.
Seat & Signal™ closes both gaps with one model: curated matching, wrapped in the community and intelligence a portfolio career needs. Each layer feeds the others — placements build the community, the community creates proof, proof creates demand, demand creates placements.
How the model works
The economics, stated plainly
- Companies pay flat success fees — quoted per search, due on placement, no retainer to start.
- Executives pay nothing, ever. Membership is free, matching is free, and we take nothing from executives' engagement rates.
- Contracts are direct. Executives contract with clients at their own rates — we are the introduction and the standard, not a middleman on the money.
- Community and education are separate. Voluntary, never tied to matching priority, never pay-to-play.
The founder
Seat & Signal™ was founded in 2026 by Bevin McArthur — a technology optimist and transformation leader across financial services, insurance, technology, and consulting, whose stated purpose is job creation: fueling companies with the experienced senior leaders now leaving corporate for portfolio careers.
In her own words: "I believe AI and technology systems can give people superpowers — amplifying judgment, empathy, creativity, and productivity rather than replacing human expertise. My goal is to build responsible, practical systems that help teams serve customers better, solve meaningful problems faster, and create value that endures."
Her work spans the transformation lifecycle — customer and experience strategy, data and AI enablement, operating-model design, service modernization, workflow automation, and enterprise adoption — including large-scale AI implementations advancing multimodal, hyper-personalized service across digital, voice, and assisted-service channels.
