Fractional CIO – experienced IT leadership, part-time

Many companies need a CIO's experience but not a full-time hire. As your fractional CIO I am part of your leadership on a part-time basis – from a few hours a month to a couple of days a week – providing strategic direction, better decisions and control of IT and suppliers.

When a fractional CIO makes sense

  • The company has no CIO and IT is handled by finance, the CEO or a supplier
  • You have an IT manager who needs an experienced sounding board
  • Important decisions on systems, investments or outsourcing are coming up
  • Cybersecurity, NIS2 and GDPR requirements need to be handled
  • You are growing and IT needs to keep up

What I do

  • IT strategy and a roadmap linked to business goals
  • Take part in executive team meetings and prepare board material
  • Prioritise investments and follow up the budget
  • Procurement, contracts and supplier management
  • Cybersecurity, NIS2, GDPR and business continuity
  • Support and coaching for your existing IT manager

Format

  • Commitment: From a few hours a month to 1–2 days a week
  • Agreement: Ongoing, normally a fixed monthly fee
  • Start: Often with a short current-state assessment

Experience

I have sat on executive teams for more than ten years and presented IT strategy, risks and investments to boards and owners several times a year.
