Fractional CIO Services for Mortgage Lenders.

When you need senior CIO/CTO judgment without a full-time hire, I step in as your fractional technology leader. I work with mortgage lenders, banks, and credit unions on steering committees, roadmap ownership, vendor decisions, and the hard calls, starting at a three-month engagement.

Scope

What I Take On as Your Fractional CIO.

Monthly Leadership and Steering

I join your steering committee and leadership sessions so technology decisions get senior judgment every month.

Roadmap and Budget Ownership

I own the technology roadmap and budget conversation, tying each investment back to risk, adoption, and business outcomes.

Vendor and Partner Negotiation

I help you evaluate LOS, mortgage automation software, point solutions, and AI vendors, and support the negotiation.

Executive and Board Communication

I translate technology and AI risk into reporting your executives, board, and examiners can understand.

Fit

Is Fractional Leadership Right for You?

  • You need CIO/CTO level judgment but a full-time hire is not the right move yet
  • You are rolling out AI or new mortgage technology and need someone accountable for it
  • Your vendor list keeps growing and nobody owns the full picture
  • Your board is asking AI governance questions your team cannot answer yet

Every engagement starts with a written scope and a flat fee. If governance is your first gap, read my AI governance framework guide for lenders.
