// CONSULTING · FRACTIONAL CIO

Senior technology
leadership, on the days
you need it.

Most middle-market companies need a CIO's judgment more than they need a CIO's salary. I provide fractional CIO and advisory services to businesses, private equity firms, home offices, and the people running them, bringing thirty years of digital transformation to the table without the full-time overhead.

  • Develop a future state blueprint
  • Create a roadmap to get there
  • Advise on execution when needed
Book a conversation

// WHO THIS IS FOR

The fit is specific.

Middle-market companies

Roughly $100M to $1B in revenue, where technology has outgrown the person who has been holding it together and the next move actually matters.

PE firms & their portfolio

Sponsors who need a trusted operator to assess a target, stand up an IT function, or drive a value-creation plan inside a portfolio company.

Companies pre- and mid-transformation

ERP replacement, cloud migration, an acquisition to integrate, a security posture that will not survive due diligence. Point A to point F, not caretaking.

Leaders who need a translator

CEOs and boards who want technology decisions explained in business terms, and technical teams who want their constraints understood upstairs.

// THE WORK

What I actually do.

  • Build multi-year IT strategic roadmaps that tie technology spend to business objectives.
  • Design future state operating models and the processes that enable them.
  • Lead ERP selection and implementation (Oracle Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics) on time and on budget.
  • Plan and execute cloud migration across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
  • Implement risk mitigation policies and procedures.
  • Develop response program for cybersecurity and DR response.
  • Stand up cybersecurity and compliance (GDPR, financial standards, DR, endpoint).
  • Consolidate managed service providers into a single accountable service desk.
  • Find and fix broken processes instead of accepting expensive workarounds.
  • Build and lead globally distributed IT teams across time zones and continents.

// HOW AN ENGAGEMENT STARTS

Three steps, no theater.

STEP 01

A conversation

We talk through where you are, what is hurting, and whether I am the right person. If I am not, I will tell you and point you somewhere better.

STEP 02

A read on the situation

I identify the core issues from a handful of data points, eliminate the noise, and lay out what order looks like and what it will take to get there.

STEP 03

The work

Fractional ongoing leadership, a defined project, or advisory by the hour. Scoped to what you need, not padded to fill a retainer.

Let's find the core problem.

Tell me what is going on. The first conversation is free, and you will leave it with a clearer picture either way.
