Interim CIO Services

IT Expertise for Your Period of Transition

Proven Tech Leadership for Change, Renewal & Integration

Leadership transitions are some of the most daunting events executives face — and it is often the technology function that creates the greatest risk. A sudden CIO departure, a merger or acquisition, or a shift in business strategy can leave organizations vulnerable if IT leadership falters.

For periods of acute change, our Interim CIO Services extend our flagship Contract CIO+® leadership services into time-bound engagements to provide stability, strategy, and continuity for your tech organization and platform. This ensures that IT & AI remain aligned with business goals while executive teams navigate broader organizational challenges.

Strategic Guidance for your IT vision

Why Interim CIO Leadership Matters

Our consultants have led organizations through transitions across many industries and scenarios, including:

  • Sudden departure of the predecessor CIO

  • Turnaround of struggling IT departments

  • Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) requiring stabilization and integration

  • Shifts to new business models or markets

  • Preparation for private equity or IPO exit strategies

  • Coaching successor CIOs as part of leadership transitions

During these times, an Interim CIO does more than keep systems running. Our interim leaders bring breadth across infrastructure, operations, and cybersecurity, while also guiding emerging priorities like AI, data, and analytics – not just ensuring IT remains operational, but also positioning the organization for competitive advantage.
