When this Model Makes Sense
The business has outgrown reactive IT
If technology is slowing execution, increasing risk, or creating unnecessary friction, the issue usually isn’t tools or talent.
A clear absence of executive level technology leadership.
Ambiguity exits around strategy and project execution
A consistent delay in delivery or instability

"Within two years, the retail operations had undergone a complete technology infrastructure overhaul and the IT department transitioned from severe apathy to a high-performing team environment. The cultural transformation was just as impactful as the technology advancements to ensure long-term success and support for our retail operations."

Having worked with some of the largest and most recognizable organizations, she brings pattern recognition and perspective that only comes from real-world experience that others simply don’t have."
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fractional CIO?
A Fractional CIO is an experienced technology executive who provides strategic IT leadership on a part-time or on-demand basis. Instead of hiring a full-time Chief Information Officer, organizations gain access to senior-level guidance that aligns technology with business goals, strengthens security and infrastructure, manages vendors and budgets, and supports scalable growth—without the cost or commitment of a full-time role.
How is IT consulting different from a Fractional CIO?
While traditional IT consulting typically focuses on short-term projects, troubleshooting, or implementing specific technologies, a Fractional CIO acts as an embedded, ongoing strategic partner for your business. An IT consultant might help you choose a new system or solve a pressing issue, then move on. A Fractional CIO, on the other hand, owns the bigger picture—aligning technology with your business goals, building and leading your IT roadmap, overseeing vendors and budgets, and ensuring every tech decision supports growth, security, and efficiency. In other words, consulting gives you expert advice when you ask for it; a Fractional CIO gives you executive-level leadership that continuously drives your organization forward.
