Fractional Chief Information Officer
Enterprise systems, corporate IT, vendor and budget governance, service management, and security posture — grounded in running global technology functions for organisations with six-figure workforces across more than a hundred countries, including a multi-billion-dollar corporate separation.
This is for you if
- Corporate IT has grown faster than its operating model
- Vendor spend and licensing have quietly become one of your largest line items
- A separation, acquisition or carve-out needs someone who has run one before
- Service management is reactive and nobody owns the availability numbers
What the engagement includes
Enterprise systems and the digital workplace
Microsoft 365, endpoint and mobility management, low-code enablement, and experience telemetry at real user scale.
Vendor, licensing and budget governance
Enterprise agreements, MSP contracts, RFPs, and consolidation programmes that reduce both spend and vendor count.
Service management and operations
ITSM, SRE and 24/7 discipline: incident, problem and change management measured against real availability targets.
M&A, separation and integration
TSAs, tenant splits, platform migration and the unglamorous sequencing that decides whether a separation lands on time.
How it usually runs
Typically two to four days a month, agreed up front, with a standing weekly slot and availability between. Engagements run in three-month terms so both sides can reassess honestly.
What it is not
Not a managed service provider. This is the accountable executive above your MSP, not a replacement for one.
