Fractional CIO and Technology Leadership
Executive-level technology leadership for organizations that cannot justify a full time C-suite role but cannot afford guesswork with their systems, vendors, or risk.
You might need a fractional CIO if:
- IT is mission critical, but you do not have a true technology leader at the table.
- Your CEO, COO, or CFO is acting as accidental CIO and it is draining time and focus.
- You are in a regulated or high-risk environment where downtime or data issues are not acceptable.
- You spend heavily on technology and vendors and are not sure you are getting the right value.
- You need a clear plan for where your technology is going, not just the next project.
What I do
- Technology direction – Set a clear technology direction that aligns with your business strategy, budget, and risk tolerance.
- Operational stability – Stabilize infrastructure and operations so leaders are not firefighting and can focus on growth.
- Leadership and accountability – Provide the ownership, decision making, and accountability you expect from a C-level leader.
How it works
- Discovery and assessment
We map your current state across systems, people, process, and vendors. You get a clear picture of what is actually happening. - Roadmap and operating model
We define where you need to go and how IT will operate to support that. Strategy, priorities, and budget lined up. - Fractional leadership
I join your leadership team on a part time basis. I own the technology agenda and drive execution with your team and vendors. - Transition or long term partnership
When you are ready for a full time CIO or different model, I help with that transition and leave you with structure, process, and clarity.
Why work with me
I have spent my career leading technology in environments where systems cannot go down and where people rely on them to do their jobs safely and effectively.
I am not a career consultant. I am a hands-on technology leader who:
- Takes ownership for decisions and outcomes.
- Speaks plainly about risk, cost, and trade-offs.
- Cares deeply about the people doing the work, not just the tools they use.
