Fractional CTO Partnership

Many mid-market manufacturers reach a point where technology becomes a bottleneck, not a business enabler. This happens when there's a leadership gap. Our Fractional CTO Partnership provides the executive-level technology leadership you need on a flexible, part-time basis. We embed with your team to provide long-term strategic guidance, ensuring your technology investments drive real business growth.

"Get the strategic guidance of a C-suite technology executive without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire. We become your partner at the leadership table."

Is your CEO or COO overwhelmed with technology decisions they shouldn't be making? Are you making expensive vendor choices without expert guidance? This reliance on guesswork leads to disconnected systems, mounting technical debt, and a tech stack that feels fragile and unable to support growth. Without strategic oversight, you risk falling behind competitors who are leveraging technology as a weapon.

Strategic Guidance & Governance

We develop your long-term technology roadmap, establish data governance policies, and provide the architectural oversight to ensure your systems are stable, secure, and built to scale with your business.

Executive Oversight & Management

We act as your representative in board meetings, manage key technology vendors to ensure you get the best value, and oversee critical projects to keep them on track and aligned with your business goals.

Our Benefits

  • A Clear Technology Roadmap
  • Unbiased Executive Guidance
  • Maximize Your Technology ROI
How does this model actually save us money?

Our partnership model provides significant savings in two ways. First, you get the strategic value and expertise of a full-time C-suite executive (a $250k+ annual expense) for a fraction of the cost. Second, and more importantly, we prevent costly mistakes—like choosing the wrong vendor, building the wrong system, or suffering from a security breach—which can save you hundreds of thousands in the long run.

A typical engagement includes a regular cadence of strategic meetings (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly), participation in executive/board meetings, ongoing oversight of your technology roadmap, vendor management, and ad-hoc advisory support for your leadership team. The focus isn't on hours, but on providing the continuous strategic leadership your business needs.

We act as a leader and mentor to your existing team, not a replacement. Our role is to provide the high-level strategy and architectural guidance, which empowers your internal staff to focus on execution. We help them prioritize effectively, unblock challenges, and align their day-to-day work with the company's top-level business objectives, making your entire team more effective.

Our goal is to build a long-term strategic partnership. Meaningful change and governance take time to implement, so we typically engage with clients for a minimum of 6 to 12 months. This allows us to move beyond initial stabilization and truly embed a strategic technology function into your business, driving lasting results.
