That sounds awful. You get someone who doesn’t really know the company or product, they take a bunch of decisions that fundamentally affect how you work, and then they’re gone. … actually, that sounds exactly like any other company.

It’s smart. Not every company has a clueless rich guy to hand all the money to

Ive worked with a fractional CISO. He was scattered, but was insanly useful about setting roadmaps, writting procedure/docs, working audits and correcting us moving in bad directions. Fractional is way better than none.

That’s more what a consultant is. A “Fractional C[insert function here]O is permanent or at least long-term. It just means the firm doesn’t have the resources and need for a full-time executive in that role. I’ve worked with fractional CTO, CIO, CFO, and CMO executives at different companies and they’ve all been required to have the company, industry, market, etc. knowledge that a non-fractional employee would. Honestly, this concept has been wonderful for small to midsize companies.
