Fractional IT Leadership

Fractional IT Leadership is for organizations that need ongoing senior technology guidance, but not a full-time CIO. Through flexible retainer-based IT strategy support, I act as your fractional CIO, providing steady, executive-level oversight that aligns technology with mission, risk, and budget.

Drawing on findings from a prior technology assessment, I offer ongoing IT strategy support and nonprofit IT planning and execution, so critical initiatives move from slide deck to reality. I facilitate technology governance for nonprofits, establishing decision-making frameworks, standards, and rhythms that boards and auditors can trust.

Because many nonprofits rely on multiple providers, I deliver vendor management oversight, functioning as outsourced IT leadership for nonprofits. I coordinate with MSPs and platforms, negotiate contracts, and hold vendors accountable for service levels and security.

To protect day-to-day operations, I provide operational stability management, monitoring patterns, addressing root causes, and reducing surprises. When you face leadership gaps or major transitions, I step in with interim IT executive services, operating as a remote interim CIO for charities, a virtual CTO for nonprofits, or a part-time CIO for foundations and associations, depending on your context.

This fractional CIO service for nonprofits gives you ongoing IT leadership for mission-driven organizations and digital strategy support for mission-driven orgs, at a sustainable cost, with engagement length tailored from three to twelve months.
