Senior technology leadership embedded into your executive team — typically one to three days a week — without the full-time price tag. About 25 minutes from Dallas; on-site one day per month, remote the rest.

02Why Irving

Dense corporate hub adjacent to DFW Airport.

Las Colinas in Irving is one of the densest corporate concentrations in Texas — ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark, McKesson, Pioneer Natural Resources, and Vistra all run major operations within a few square miles. Working in Irving means the tech buyers and vendors you meet are usually trained on enterprise-scale processes.

05Frequently asked

What Irving owners ask first.

Do you work on-site in Irving?

Yes. Irving is about 25 minutes from Dallas, so one on-site day per month is standard for engagements there. Additional on-site days can be added by request — useful for executive offsites, hiring loops, or vendor selection meetings.

Have you worked with Irving businesses before?

Most of our engagements come from the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Irving and the surrounding corporate operations ecosystem. Each engagement is unique, but the patterns are familiar.

What's different about a fractional CTO engagement in Irving?

Las Colinas in Irving is one of the densest corporate concentrations in Texas — ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark, McKesson, Pioneer Natural Resources, and Vistra all run major operations within a few square miles. A fractional CTO who knows the local context tailors the engagement accordingly — different from a generic Dallas engagement in scope, vendor selection, and hiring focus.

Can you help us recruit local tech talent in Irving?

Yes — hiring is one of the most common reasons clients engage us. We run technical interview loops, calibrate offers against the local market, and onboard the new hire. We're not a recruiter and don't charge contingent fees; we're the technical evaluator in your hiring process.
