// 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
// 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.
// SELECTED RESULTS
Evidence, not adjectives.
// HOW AN ENGAGEMENT STARTS
Three steps, no theater.
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.
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.
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.
