What is a virtual CIO?
Senior technology leadership without a full-time executive hire.
A virtual CIO (vCIO) is an experienced technology executive who works with your company on a part-time or retainer basis.
**They typically help with:**
- Technology roadmap aligned to business goals
- Vendor selection and contract review
- Security and compliance priorities
- Translating technical issues into business decisions
**Different from IT support:** Your IT person keeps systems running. A vCIO helps you decide what systems to run and why.
