Leaders. Catalysts. Architects.

We partner with mission-driven organizations across the Washington DC region and nationally — including nonprofits, trade associations, government agencies, healthcare systems, financial services firms, and private equity portfolio companies. Our clients share a common thread: they are purpose-driven organizations navigating growth, complexity, or technological change.

A fractional CTO or CIO is an experienced technology executive who works with your organization on a part-time basis. Instead of the cost and commitment of a full-time hire, you get executive-level technology leadership — typically 1-3 days per week — tailored to your current needs. This model is ideal for mid-size organizations, nonprofits, and growing companies that need strategic guidance without the overhead.

Our founder is a former U.S. Senate CIO with over 20 years of executive leadership experience. We are not generalist consultants — we are practitioners who have held the seats our clients are trying to fill. We combine strategic insight with hands-on execution, and we work exclusively with mission-driven organizations. Our recommendations are grounded in real-world experience, not theoretical frameworks.

Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation to understand your organization, challenges, and goals. From there, we develop a tailored approach — whether that is a focused assessment, a multi-month advisory relationship, or ongoing fractional executive services. Engagements typically range from 3 months to 12+ months, depending on the scope and your organization's needs.

Yes. While we are headquartered in Washington DC and serve the greater DC-Maryland-Virginia region extensively, we work with organizations nationwide. Many of our fractional CTO and CIO engagements operate on a hybrid model combining on-site visits with remote strategic advisory, making geography less of a constraint than it once was.

If you are unsure whether your technology is helping or hindering your mission, a technology assessment is likely a good starting point. Common indicators include rising IT costs without proportionate value, security concerns, difficulty retaining IT staff, compliance uncertainty, or upcoming technology decisions where you lack internal expertise. An assessment gives you an honest baseline and a clear path forward.

Our pricing varies based on the scope and nature of the engagement. Fractional executive services are typically structured as monthly retainers based on the time commitment your organization needs. Project-based work like technology assessments and due diligence are scoped with fixed fees. We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation — schedule a consultation and we will provide a clear proposal.
