Expert Tech Leadership. Embedded in Your Business.

We don’t just consult. We lead from within, helping you scale faster, operate smarter, and stay secure—

Chief Technology Officer
We drive innovation that scales. As your CTO, we oversee architecture, application strategy, modernization, and DevOps alignment. Whether launching a new product or cleaning up legacy tech, we turn chaos into cohesion and make engineering work smarter for the business. Your tech becomes leaner, faster, and future-ready under fractional executive guidance—ideal for companies scaling fast but constrained by legacy systems or underdeveloped tech strategy.
This is innovation with operational clarity—delivered at the executive level.
Chief Information Officer
We align technology with business outcomes. As your fractional CIO, we translate executive goals into actionable IT strategy, governance, and investment planning. From vendor management to long-term roadmaps, we ensure your tech supports growth—not just operations.
We bring strategic clarity to every decision and hold your tech stack accountable to results. Whether optimizing spend, modernizing infrastructure, or reimagining IT governance, we align your systems to measurable business value.
This is executive IT leadership for organizations needing to scale smart—designed for impact, embedded in your mission, and accountable for results that matter.
Chief Information
Security Officer
We build trust by hardening your enterprise. Our fractional CISO services span risk management, compliance, incident response readiness, and security program leadership. We bridge the gap between operational noise and board-level security strategy—helping you stay ahead of threats, audits, and reputational risk.
You get clear visibility, fast prioritization, and calm control over your security posture. Whether you’re under pressure from clients, regulators, or your board, we help you lead with confidence.
This is security leadership that scales—delivered at the executive level, built for velocity, and ready to protect your mission-critical growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fractional CXO actually do?
A fractional CXO (CIO, CTO, or CISO) provides executive-level leadership on a part-time or contracted basis—offering the same strategic insight and accountability as a full-time executive, but without the overhead. You get embedded expertise that drives outcomes across technology, cybersecurity, and operations.
How is your approach different from an MSP or outsourced IT provider?
We don’t manage tickets—we drive outcomes. While MSPs handle day-to-day tech operations, we own the strategy: aligning tech with growth, leading internal and vendor teams, and bringing board-level clarity to decisions.
How do you work with other vendors, MSPs, or in-house staff?
We complement—not compete with—your existing resources. Whether you're working with an MSP, internal tech team, or external consultants, we bring leadership and strategic alignment that elevates the entire ecosystem. You’ll get a clear point of accountability and a partner who plays well with others.
Do I need to commit to a long-term contract?
Not necessarily. Our Strategy Session is project-based with no ongoing commitment—perfect for companies needing a one-time roadmap or expert clarity. However, our Engaged and Advisory services operate on a monthly retainer, reflecting our deep, embedded leadership role. These models are designed for scale, ensuring continuity, accountability, and strategic impact over time.
How quickly can you start?
Strategy Sessions can be scheduled within 7–14 days. Ongoing engagements typically begin with a brief discovery call and initial roadmap alignment. We move fast—but strategically.
How do I know if I need a CIO, CTO, or CISO—or all three?
If you're scaling fast, managing tech debt, facing compliance requirements, or lacking strategic alignment—chances are you need at least one. We help assess where the gaps are and tailor the right mix of roles to support your growth, without over-hiring.
Can I scale between a CIO, CTO, or CISO as my needs change?
Yes. Our engagements are flexible. Many clients start with one role and expand or shift as their strategy evolves. Since we offer unified CXO leadership, we make it easy to adapt without restarting from scratch or re-onboarding a new team.
What’s included in your services?
Depending on the engagement (Strategy Session, Engaged Leadership, or Advisory), services may include IT roadmapping, cybersecurity programs, vendor management, risk assessments, budgeting support, and executive reporting. All services are delivered hands-on and tailored to your environment.
What results can I expect from a fractional CXO engagement?
You’ll get more than advice—you’ll get outcomes. From aligned roadmaps and risk reduction to faster tech execution and executive reporting, our fractional CXOs deliver measurable results. Expect improved decision-making, clearer priorities, accelerated initiatives, and a leadership presence that drives accountability across your tech, security, and operations.
Do you offer assessments or audits before engagement?
Yes. Our Executive Strategy Session includes a deep discovery call and custom roadmap. It’s a fast-start diagnostic designed to surface pain points, prioritize action, and outline next steps—often the catalyst to larger transformation.
