Fractional CIO/CISO in Dayton

Executive IT leadership for Miami Valley organizations that need someone who can talk plant-floor uptime and board-level risk in the same week.

Dayton’s economy still runs on making things, caring for patients, and working in the orbit of Wright-Patterson. Fractional leadership covers budget, vendors, architecture, and control programs. Meetings by video or in person; managed operations run continuously from Cincinnati HQ.

What Dayton leadership usually wants

  • A technology plan that respects production schedules and change windows
  • Someone to govern vendors who talk NIST-aligned or TISAX-related controls in plain language
  • A CISO-capable voice for HIPAA questionnaires and board risk packets
  • Honest scoping for defense-adjacent work as a consulting conversation
  • Clear ownership when co-managing with a plant or local IT person

Manufacturing and auto-adjacent supply chains often need TISAX-related controls; healthcare needs HIPAA; education-adjacent work needs FERPA-aware handling. Defense-adjacent scoping is a consulting conversation we walk through together.

How we run the seat

  • Leadership stays connected to the team that runs tickets
  • Control programs get a real consulting conversation
  • Vendor choices have to earn their place in the stack
  • We size the seat to the work, including when a full-time CIO is the better path

How Dayton coverage works

Our headquarters is in Cincinnati. Dayton and the Miami Valley are a live near-region market, close enough for regular on-site.

Fractional CIO and CMO seats work by video and in person. Managed IT and managed marketing run continuously under that leadership.

Plant visits, assessments, and hardware work are scheduled like local jobs. Greater Dayton sits inside practical on-site range from Cincinnati.

Questions

Is fractional CIO a fit for Dayton manufacturers?

Yes, when plant-floor uptime, vendors, and control programs already show up in leadership meetings, but a full-time CIO salary is premature. The seat can talk production and board-level risk in the same week.

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 support TISAX or defense-adjacent scoping?

We work with TISAX-related controls for automotive supply-chain programs. CMMC or NIST scoping for government-adjacent firms is a consulting conversation. Ask us directly and we will walk through how that engagement would look.

How close is Dayton coverage from Cincinnati?

Greater Dayton sits inside practical on-site range from Cincinnati HQ. Fractional seats work by video and in person. Monitoring and managed operations do not wait for a drive.

Do you also offer marketing leadership?

Yes. Fractional CMO and managed marketing when the constraint is being found by the next customer, not only keeping systems up. Same engagement model.
