Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers.

What is a Fractional CTO?+

A senior technology leader who works with you part-time. Same strategic role as a full-time CTO. planning, budgeting, vendor oversight, project leadership. at a fraction of the commitment.

Who typically hires a Fractional CTO?+

Nonprofits, growing businesses, and public-sector teams that need executive technology judgment but do not have the volume or budget for a full-time hire.

What does a Fractional CTO not do?+

This role is leadership, not hands-on help desk. Day-to-day support is handled through Managed IT so the CTO relationship stays focused on strategy and outcomes.

How is the engagement structured?+

A recurring cadence of leadership meetings, planning sessions, and project oversight. Scope and hours are set based on your organization's stage and priorities.

Can you lead a specific project without a full engagement?+

Yes. We take on defined initiatives such as system migrations, security programs, or platform selections when leadership is what a project actually needs.

How is this different from a consultant?+

A consultant recommends. A Fractional CTO owns the outcome. leads the plan, manages vendors, holds the line on budget, and stays accountable over time.
