What's included each month

One day per week — roughly 5 days a month — of focused executive attention on the technology and IT questions that move your business. Whether you need CTO-level strategy, CIO-level governance, or hands-on IT leadership, the engagement flexes to fit. And if one day a week isn't enough, we can provide as many days as you need at the same rate.

Weekly working session with leadership (or your designated lead)
Strategic technology roadmap, refreshed quarterly
IT operations leadership — oversight of systems, support, and day-to-day delivery
Vendor evaluation, contract review, and negotiation support
Architecture & security guidance for new initiatives
Team leadership & mentorship — coaching your IT staff and setting standards
Hiring support: job specs, interview panels, technical screens
Board & investor update materials when needed
Always-on advisory access via email/Slack between sessions

How the engagement works

Onboarding

Week 1. Stakeholder map, system inventory, quick-win identification.

30-Day Plan

End of month 1. Focused priorities and a measurable outcome to chase.

Operating Cadence

Weekly working session, monthly executive readout, quarterly roadmap refresh.

Continuity

Documentation built as we go — so knowledge stays with the business.

When this is the right fit

You're spending too much on tech and not sure what's working
You're growing and need executive-level decisions, not just doers
Your IT function needs senior leadership but not a full-time hire
You need an interim IT leader to steady the team during a transition
You're considering a major investment (cloud, ERP, AI, security)
You need credibility with customers, investors, or auditors
