Fractional CIO Services

{ Our Approach }

When you choose our Fractional CIO services, you’re gaining a strategic partner focused on aligning your technology with your business goals. We start by understanding your company’s vision and challenges, creating a tailored roadmap that delivers real value. With consistent communication and a proactive approach, we ensure your IT strategy supports your growth with tangible, long-term benefits.

< Is This For You? >

A Fractional CIO provides high-level technology leadership focused on aligning IT strategy with business goals. Unlike a CTO, who primarily drives product and technical development, a CIO looks after your internal systems, data strategy, and operational efficiencies. If you're scaling, facing inefficiencies, or need cohesive technology planning across departments, a Fractional CIO can guide you without the full-time commitment.

Amanda Reineke

CEO, Notice Ninja

"We hired Valerian to perform an analysis on our tech stack and provide mentorship to our engineering team. In a short period of time, they were able to provide a deep risk analysis for us while assisting with decision making that enabled our team to dramatically improve quality, security, and scalability while eliminating risks to the business. I would highly recommend Valerian for any concerns you may have around technology or engineering leadership."

Kyle Recchia

CEO The Perfect Workout

"Valerian was incredibly helping in evaluating the tech stack behind a potential acquisition. Not only were they intimately familiar with the technology itself, but they intuitively grasped how the tech enabled the business model. Ultimately, the evaluation became more about the technology moat and the sustainability of the business model, and their conclusions and insights were very on point."

Brian Gootzeit

Apart from best in class technical expertise, what has impressed us most is the business-focused approach. Valerian cuts to the core of an offering, what it means to an enterprise, and how it will age, while providing the technical expertise we have come to expect."
