The Right Technology Decision at This Moment Can Define the Next Decade.
I work with mid-market companies ($20M–$200M) navigating inflections points — acquisitions, generational handoffs, first outside
capital — to build and de-risk their technology roadmap before any major spend.
Sound Familiar?
You're three months from a major technology decision — a new ERP, a platform migration, a significant integration — and you're not fully confident the path you're on is the right one.
You've grown through acquisitions or expansion and the technology stack has grown with it — except now it's a patchwork of systems that don't talk to each other and nobody fully owns.
Day-to-day technology decisions keep landing on your desk because there's no one in the business who can own them at a strategic level.
How I Help
I focus on the technology decisions that matter most at major inflection points.
Technology Diagnostic Before the Big Spend
Before you commit six or seven figures to an ERP, integration, or infrastructure overhaul, a thorough analysis of your environment, goals, resources, and challenges enables me to de-risk, unclog, and scale your organization. You get a clear, defensible technology roadmap — not a vendor recommendation dressed up as strategy.
Technology Stack Optimization at the Right Moment
Whether you've just closed an acquisition, added a site or business line, or are about to enable a new capability — this is the moment to make sure your technology stack is set up for what comes next, not just what worked before. I assess what to consolidate, what to replace, and what to leave alone, so investments go where they actually move the business forward.
Ongoing Fractional CTO Leadership
Steady technology leadership integrated into your operations — without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive. I align technology with business priorities, provide accountability across systems and vendors, and stay in your corner as the business evolves through transition.
About the Founder
Lee Winbush
Founder, Fractional CTO
You've built something real. Now the next chapter is here.
Perhaps your company ownership is changing hands, or you just closed your third acquisition. Your firm is in transition and the technology question just got a lot more urgent.
The right technology decision at this moment can define the next decade.
I work with mid-market companies ($20M–$200M) at points of transition — expansion, acquisitions, generational handoffs, first outside capital — to build and de-risk their technology roadmap before any big spend. That means making sure ERP decisions, integration plans, and infrastructure investments align with where the business is headed — not just where a vendor wants to take you.
You're skeptical of consultants who deliver reports and disappear. That's exactly the right instinct.
I bring two decades of Fortune 500 technology leadership experience, including a decade leading global manufacturing technology at 3M across 70+ countries and thousands of users. I've seen what scales, what breaks, and what gets quietly inherited in every acquisition. That discipline now goes to work for companies where the stakes are just as high but the margin for error is smaller.
If your organization is at an inflection point, let's talk.
