You have systems, but no roadmap.
Leadership knows technology matters, but there is no clear owner of what should happen next, in what order, and why.
For CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and operating leaders
When technology is running the business, but no one is fully leading it.
George Huene helps mid-market companies turn fragmented systems, unclear priorities, AI pressure, and vendor sprawl into a practical technology roadmap that improves execution, visibility, and confidence.
Executive technology leadership without the cost of a full-time CTO or CIO
Practical roadmap across CRM, ERP, data, AI, cybersecurity, and vendors
Built for companies that have outgrown informal IT leadership
Best fit for:
$20M-$250M revenue
•
100-1,000 employees
•
Mid-market operational complexity
Why companies reach out
The business has outgrown the current technology leadership model.
Usually the problem is not effort. It is lack of executive ownership across the roadmap, priorities, vendors, systems, and business decisions technology now affects every day.
IT is working hard, but not moving the business fast enough.
The team handles support and projects, yet the CEO, COO, and CFO still lack clarity, leverage, and confidence.
CRM, ERP, reporting, and operations feel disconnected.
Different functions are making decisions from different versions of the truth, slowing growth and creating friction.
AI pressure is rising.
Ownership wants action, but you need a sane, safe roadmap—not random experiments, wasted spend, or new risk.
Vendors are multiplying faster than value.
The stack keeps growing, but architecture, accountability, and ROI have not kept up.
You need senior leadership, not another tactical helper.
You need someone who can translate between business leaders, technical teams, outside vendors, and execution reality.

Practical Fractional CTO / CIO support focused on business outcomes.
This is not gadget-first consulting. It is executive-level technology leadership designed to reduce waste, improve visibility, and move the business forward.
Technology strategy and roadmap
Create clarity around priorities, timing, ownership, investment decisions, and what the next 90 days should accomplish.
CRM, ERP, data, and reporting alignment
Turn fragmented systems and manual workarounds into a more coherent operating model leadership can trust.
AI prioritization without the hype
Identify the highest-value use cases, set sensible guardrails, and keep AI tied to economics, workflow, and risk.
Cybersecurity and governance oversight
Strengthen decision-making, accountability, vendor discipline, and executive confidence before problems become crises.
Vendor rationalization and execution leadership
Reduce sprawl, stop disconnected buying, and give the business one senior owner across vendors, systems, and outcomes.
Post-acquisition and growth complexity support
Bring structure to integration, modernization, KPI visibility, and operational scaling when complexity rises fast.
Best-fit buyer

Especially strong fit for private, founder-led, family-owned, or PE-backed companies whose operations now depend on technology more than their current leadership model does.

“George helped us separate AI hype from where we could create real value without adding risk or distraction.”
“He gave us senior-level technology leadership without the cost, delay, and commitment of hiring a full-time executive too early.”

FAQ
Questions buyers usually ask before they reach out.
How do I know if we need a Fractional CTO or CIO?
If technology is affecting growth, reporting, operations, AI decisions, cybersecurity, or vendor spend—and no one at the executive level is fully owning the roadmap—you are likely in the right zone.
How is this different from an MSP, IT director, or consultant?
This work is executive-level ownership and prioritization. The goal is not just to do technical tasks. The goal is to help leadership make better decisions, set the roadmap, and move cross-functional execution forward.
Should pricing be public?
For this kind of buyer, public monthly retainer pricing often creates more friction than value. A fixed-scope starting offer from $5K helps qualify seriousness without commoditizing ongoing strategic work.
What is the best way to start?
Usually with a free advisory call or a fixed-scope Technology Leadership Assessment. That gives leadership a practical first step without overcommitting.
What kinds of companies are the best fit?
Mid-market companies, typically $20M-$250M in revenue, often private or PE-backed, where systems, data, AI, reporting, and vendor complexity are growing faster than leadership maturity.
