Ongoing leadership · Monthly retainer
Technology leadership when you need it.
Bring experienced technology oversight into your leadership team without immediately creating a full-time Chief Technology Officer role. InterPro helps prioritize investments, coordinate suppliers, clarify decisions, and keep delivery connected to business outcomes.
- Who it’s for
- Founders and leadership teams that need ongoing technology direction and supplier accountability.
- Investment
- Advisory from US$2,500/month; Embedded from US$5,500/month.
- Format
- Monthly retainer with agreed review points.
Growth creates decisions a helpdesk ticket cannot resolve.
Which platform deserves investment? Who owns an integration? Is a supplier proposal proportionate? What risk can the business accept? When these decisions sit between departments, leaders absorb the coordination work and projects compete without a shared direction.
Fractional CTO advisory provides an agreed level of technology leadership while your internal team or managed service provider continues its operational role.
Signs of a leadership gap
- Technology spending is rising without a ranked set of business outcomes.
- Projects cross several suppliers and stall at handoffs or architecture decisions.
- A founder or executive approves technical choices without a dependable options assessment.
- Risk, continuity, and adoption have owners in principle but no regular review or agreed evidence.

Common questions
Can you work with our existing IT manager or managed service provider?
Yes. The engagement begins by defining leadership, delivery, and support responsibilities so existing providers can remain effective partners.
Do we retain control over investment decisions?
Yes. Leadership retains the approval rights agreed in scope. InterPro documents options and trade-offs, makes recommendations, and coordinates the follow-through.
Which tier should we choose?
Advisory suits recurring executive decisions with lighter coordination. Embedded suits organizations with active change, multiple suppliers, or weekly delivery dependencies.
Can the level of support change?
Yes. The cadence and responsibilities can be reviewed as priorities, capacity, or internal leadership changes.
