Where knowledge meets strategy.
FireOak Strategies is a boutique consulting firm that helps organizations strengthen their knowledge foundations so technology – including AI – actually works.
We lead with knowledge because it shapes how decisions are made, how work gets done, and whether technology delivers real value or simply adds noise. Without clear knowledge structures, even the best tools struggle to scale.
As fractional CIOs and strategic advisors, we help leaders bring clarity to complex systems – aligning knowledge, technology, and governance so organizations can operate with confidence, adapt to change, and make smarter decisions over time.
Our work is grounded in clarity, structure, and sustainability. We don't chase shiny tools or trends. We focus on building systems that support how your organization actually works – today and as you grow.

Who We Work With
"FireOak helped us bring strategy, structure, and clarity to our business – without the tech jargon." – Executive Director, Nonprofit Client
We work with organizations navigating growth, complexity, and change — especially when knowledge, systems, and decision-making start to strain.
Our clients often have strong missions and capable teams, but lack the structure, clarity, or leadership needed to make technology and AI work reliably.
🧪 Startups & R&D organizations building systems for scale
❤️ Nonprofits and foundations balancing impact, risk, and limited resources
🌐 NGOs and international organizations managing complexity across teams and regions
💼 Mission-driven and professional services businesses navigating growth and operational maturity
If things feel harder than they should — or if AI and new tools are raising more questions than answers — you’re not alone.
Many of the organizations we work with come to us not because something is broken, but because they want more clarity before making their next set of decisions.
