Fractional CIO/CISO in Cincinnati

Executive IT leadership for Greater Cincinnati organizations that need a seat at the table, and a team that will carry the work after the meeting.

Cincinnati firms often outgrow “the IT person” before a full-time CIO seat makes sense. Fractional leadership covers budget, vendors, architecture, and security. Meetings here, across the metro, or remote.

Questions

Is fractional CIO overkill for a 40-person Cincinnati company?

Fractional CIO works when technology spend, vendors, and risk are already showing up in leadership meetings. The seat is part-time on purpose. If the work truly needs a full-time CIO, we will discuss what that would mean during scoping.

Can the fractional CIO also run the MSP?

The roles stay distinct: CIO sets direction and owns outcomes; Managed IT executes operations. They talk to each other because they are the same firm. That is the difference versus hiring an advisor who cannot make the help desk move.

Do you cover Hamilton or Northern Kentucky for fractional CIO work?

Yes. Hamilton, Butler County, NKY, and nearby towns are Greater Cincinnati coverage: same leadership seat, routine on-site and video cadence.

What do the first 90 days look like in Cincinnati?

Inventory of systems, vendors, and open risks; a short leadership decision agenda; then remediation of the highest-leverage gaps. By 90 days you should have a defendable roadmap and a cadence that does not depend on fire drills.

Do you also offer marketing leadership?

Yes. Fractional CMO and managed marketing, alongside fractional CIO and managed IT. Same engagement model, same accountability.
