Senior leadership, without a seat on your org chart

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A vCIO is senior IT leadership on a fractional basis — the same strategic role a full-time CIO would play (budgeting, roadmapping, vendor oversight, risk management) without the full-time salary. It's distinct from day-to-day IT support: the focus is planning, not ticket resolution.

Your IT support or MSP keeps systems running day to day. We work alongside them, adding the senior strategic layer — deciding what should change, what's worth the budget, and where the risk actually is. We're not a replacement for hands-on support; we're the planning layer most small businesses are missing.

Yes, frequently. Engagements are structured to add strategic oversight without conflicting with your internal team or existing provider relationships.

Most clients fall between 10 and 75 employees — past the point where ad hoc IT decisions are workable, but not yet at the size where a full-time CIO makes financial sense.

No. Engagements are flexible and month-to-month — we'd rather earn the relationship continuously than lock you into a multi-year agreement.
