Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does a Virtual CIO do?

A Virtual CIO provides strategic IT leadership and guidance to businesses, helping them align technology with their business goals.

How is a Virtual CIO different from an in-house CIO or IT manager?

While an in-house CIO is a full-time employee, a Virtual CIO offers similar strategic expertise on a part-time or contract basis. This provides flexibility and cost savings for businesses that may not require or cannot afford a full-time CIO.

How does the Virtual CIO engagement work? Is it a long-term commitment?

Our program is 6 months long. We feel that a 6-month engagement is the minimum necessary time to set your company on the right path.

There are options for continued support at the end of the engagement.

Will you work with our existing IT team?

Absolutely! We typically collaborate with the existing IT team (and other senior leaders), providing strategic guidance while the in-house team handles day-to-day operations. The goal is to transfer as much knowledge so your technical team can think in business terms by the end of the engagement.

What is the Ideal Client that Your Work With?

I work with service-based companies with a minimum of 8 figures in revenue.

Is Your Consulting Onsite or Virtual?

The work is a virtual arrangement. I will come onsite with additional travel fees.

Do you Guarantee Your Work?

I have a 30-day money-back, zero-questions-asked policy for clients that pay in full upfront.
