Fractional Technology Leadership

Technology decisions are being made reactively

Your company spends $500K to $3M a year on technology, but nobody at the leadership table owns that spend. Vendor contracts get renewed without review. Software purchases happen based on a sales demo, not a requirements analysis. When something breaks, the response is reactive instead of planned. The board asks about your technology strategy and nobody has a clear answer.

You don't necessarily need a full-time CTO or CIO. You need someone with that expertise at the table on a regular cadence, someone who knows your environment, understands your business goals, and can translate between the two.

What we do

• Quarterly and annual technology roadmap development and review
• Technology budget planning and spend optimization
• Vendor relationship management and contract negotiations
• Board and leadership briefings on technology posture and initiatives
• IT hiring guidance (when to hire, what roles, what to look for)
• Security and compliance oversight
• Major project sponsorship and oversight

How it works

We operate on a monthly retainer with a defined scope. Typical engagements include regular strategy sessions with leadership, quarterly deep-dive reviews, and availability for ad-hoc decisions throughout the month. We get to know your business deeply so our recommendations account for your actual operations, not just technology best practices in the abstract.

Who this is for

Companies with $500K to $3M in annual technology spend that don't have a dedicated technology executive. Organizations where the CEO, COO, or CFO is currently making technology decisions alongside everything else they're responsible for. Companies that have tried hiring a CTO but can't justify the cost of a full-time executive for the volume of decisions that need to be made.
