A Fractional CIO, also known as a part-time or consultant CIO, is a senior executive who helps companies with their technology strategy and implementation on a part-time basis. Fractional CIOs typically have extensive experience in technology leadership roles and can help companies develop a technology strategy that aligns with their business goals. They can also help oversee the implementation of technology solutions and manage IT staff.
A technical non-executive, on the other hand, is a senior executive who has expertise in a specific technical area and provides guidance to a company's board of directors or executive team on technical matters. They may have experience in areas such as software development, data analytics, or cybersecurity, and can help a company make informed decisions about technology investments and strategy. Technical non-executives typically work on a part-time basis and do not have a managerial role in the company.
In summary, a Fractional CIO is a part-time executive who provides strategic technology leadership and oversees technology implementation, while a technical non-executive provides technical expertise and advice to a company's leadership team or board.
