Fractional technology leadership and AI-driven delivery for growth-stage companies and private equity portfolios. Each engagement is led by Nick, with specialists from our bench staffed in as the work needs them.

  • 25+ years leading technology
  • SOC 2 environments
  • Fixed-fee assessments
Execution architecture

Leadership and delivery across the systems a growing company runs on.

01 / Executive leadership

Fractional CIO & technology strategy

“We're growing faster than our systems, and nobody owns the technology plan.”

Key deliverables

  • Multi-year technology roadmap and budget tied to the business plan
  • Build-vs-buy and vendor decisions, contracts and renewals
  • Org design: who to hire, who to contract, what to automate
  • Board, CFO and PE-sponsor reporting; M&A and ownership transitions

How it runs: a fixed-fee assessment, then a monthly retainer with a standing weekly rhythm.

02 / Data platforms

Data & analytics

“Every team has its own numbers, and the reporting server is held together with tape.”

Key deliverables

  • Warehouse design and migration on Snowflake, modelled in dbt
  • Bronze, silver and gold layers that give one source of truth
  • Row-for-row reconciliation before any cutover
  • Governed reporting with a real cost model

Typical stack

  • Snowflake
  • Google BigQuery
  • dbt
  • Power BI
  • Tableau
  • SQL Server

How it runs: a scoped project with a parallel run, then optional ongoing support.

03 / Systems standardization

ERP & business systems

“We've outgrown QuickBooks, or our NetSuite is a mess nobody trusts.”

Key deliverables

  • NetSuite implementation, clean-up, integrations and SuiteScript
  • ERP selection on fit, total cost and scalability

  • Finance and operations process redesign alongside the system

Typical platforms

  • NetSuite
  • Dynamics 365
  • Acumatica
  • Sage Intacct
  • Salesforce

  • Coupa

How it runs: selection as a fixed-fee assessment; implementation as a project with our NetSuite specialist.

04 / Modern engineering

AI-driven application development

“Our team is generating code with AI, and we're not sure any of it is safe to ship.”

Key deliverables

  • Web, iOS and Android applications built AI-first and shipped to production
  • Intake, requirements, automated testing and code review on every change
  • CI/CD, cloud hosting, and security and quality audits built in
  • Privacy by design, including apps for families and children (COPPA)

Typical stack

  • SwiftUI
  • GitHub Actions
  • Railway
  • Cloudflare

How it runs: a product build with our application development lead, or a program to bring your team's AI work up to standard.

05 / M&A & consolidation

Systems engineering: data & identity migrations

“We just bought a company, and now we have two of everything.”

Key deliverables

  • Microsoft 365 and Google tenant consolidation

How it runs: a scoped migration led with our DevOps and systems engineering specialist.

06 / Risk & governance

Security & compliance

“A big customer sent us a security questionnaire, and we don't have good answers.”

Key deliverables

  • Security programs built from scratch: policy, controls, tooling, people

  • Customer security reviews and questionnaires answered with evidence
  • Public-company and acquirer compliance readiness

Typical frameworks
