Insights · Working with a Fractional CIO

"We can't afford a full-time CIO" is why you need a fractional one

“We can't afford a full-time CIO" is exactly why you need a fractional one. Here's what I see constantly: Mid-sized companies with $20M to $100M in revenue running IT by committee. Marketing wants one thing. Finance wants another. The CEO is making technology decisions based on whoever spoke to them last.

As a Fractional CIO, I'm not there to run your help desk. I'm there to make sure your technology spending aligns with where your business is actually going. To translate between what your team wants and what your company needs. To stop you from buying solutions to problems you don't have.

The math is simple: You get 20 years of strategic IT experience for a fraction of a full-time salary. No benefits. No politics. Just clear direction when you need it most, during growth, acquisition, or transition periods.

And here's the best part: When you do grow large enough to need a full-time CIO, I help you hire them and hand off a strategy that actually works.

When did your company outgrow DIY IT?
