Fractional IT Leadership
Get senior technology leadership without a full-time hire. Our fractional CIO, CTO, Chief AI Officer and CISO services give your business a clear IT strategy, the right technology, an AI plan and a strong security program, on a schedule that fits.
Leadership for every part of your technology
A fractional executive leads one part of your technology part-time. IT Hawaii offers four roles, and you can choose one or several. Each meets with you semi-annually, quarterly or monthly, depending on your plan, and works alongside your current IT provider or in-house team.
Pick the roles your business needs
Planning a growth year? A Fractional CIO builds your IT roadmap and budget. Choosing new platforms or building something new? A Fractional CTO picks the right technology and designs the architecture. Ready to lead with AI? A Fractional Chief AI Officer sets your AI strategy and owns the results. Need a security program? A Fractional CISO leads it on NIST CSF 2.0. Combine roles, and you have a part-time technology leadership team.
Leadership from a Hawaii team
Our fractional leaders are part of IT Hawaii's team in Honolulu and Lihue, and they serve businesses statewide. Behind them is the team that has supported Hawaii businesses since 2001, from managed IT to cybersecurity and AI. Steve Massaro, our CEO, and a small group of our team deliver our fractional CISO services.
