Strategic tech leadership -- without the full-time price tag.
FireOak's fractional CIO services help your team make confident, mission-aligned technology decisions.
What is a Fractional CIO?
A fractional Chief Information Officer (CIO) is a senior technology leader who works with your organization on a part-time basis – providing strategic oversight, IT governance, and trusted guidance across all things digital.
It's like having a seasoned CIO on your team, without the cost or complexity of a full-time hire.
When It's the Right Fit
Use a fractional CIO when:
- You're growing quickly and need strategic IT support
- You've outgrown your current systems and need a roadmap
- Your tech stack feels fragmented or misaligned
- Your team is drowning in day-to-day support without time for planning
- You need help navigating security, risk, or compliance
- You don't want to hire a full-time CIO yet, or you don't ever expect to
