Fractional CIO
Executive technology leadership —
on your terms.
A Fractional CIO is a senior technology executive who serves your organization part-time. You get the strategic thinking, team leadership, and board-level communication of a seasoned CIO — without the $250,000+ annual commitment.

Signs you need a Fractional CIO.
You've outgrown your IT manager.
The organization needs strategic leadership — someone who can translate technology decisions into business outcomes for the executive team.
You're navigating a major technology decision.
A platform migration, a system modernization, or a digital transformation initiative that requires senior oversight and accountability.
Your board needs technology credibility.
Investors and directors want a CIO-level voice in the room. We provide it — including pre-board briefings and written technology committee materials.
You're preparing to scale, raise, or sell.
Due diligence requires clean technology documentation, defensible architecture decisions, and a clear roadmap. We build and defend all three.
What's Included
Everything you'd expect from a full-time CIO.
Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need. This is the full menu — your retainer covers the subset that fits your organization.
- Weekly executive engagement (calls, async, and always-on email/Slack)
- Technology strategy development and annual roadmap
- IT team leadership, hiring support, and mentoring
- Board and investor technology briefings
- Vendor selection, contract review, and ongoing oversight

- Budget guidance, technology spend review, and ROI prioritization
- Quarterly strategy refresh and business alignment check
