CIO Grid™ | On-Demand Tech Leadership
We help companies hire operator-grade technology leaders who turn strategy into execution, fast. Because growth doesn’t fail from bad ideas. It fails from missing leadership.When Growth Outruns Leadership
Most scaling teams hit the same wall, engineering moves fast, costs explode, and no one’s truly accountable for direction.
Your VP of Eng is buried in delivery.
Finance is chasing visibility.
And the CEO’s running blind on what’s really happening inside the stack.
CIO Grid™ steps in right there — embedding operators who’ve led through that exact chaos and know how to bring control back fast.
Let’s build the leadership your growth actually needs.
Why Companies Trust CIO Grid™
Because we’ve lived the job.
Our team has led engineering orgs, managed $50M+ cloud budgets, and sat across the table from CIOs of every size from Series B startups to Fortune 500 giants.
CIO Grid™ was born out of that experience.
It’s not a recruiting service — it’s an extension of our transformation work in Silicon Valley, built by people who’ve been in the trenches, made the hard calls, and know what real technical leadership looks like.
That’s why when we find a CIO, we’re not matching resumes, we’re identifying operators who can actually run your playbook and scale your business.
One wrong leader can set your company back a year. The right one can change its trajectory forever
We’ve seen what great leadership can do — and what the lack of it costs.
CIO Grid™ exists to make sure you never face that gap again.
We work with scaling tech companies where growth has outpaced leadership and experience is the missing links.

How We Help
On-Demand Operators
When you’re mid-launch, mid-migration, or mid-mess — we deploy tech leaders who stabilize chaos fast and get results you can measure, not just report.
Full-Time Leadership Search
We help founders and boards hire CIOs, CTOs, and Heads of Engineering who don’t need onboarding — they build, scale, and lead from day one.
Technical Specialists for Modern Stacks
AI. Cloud. Infrastructure. Architecture.
We find leaders who bridge deep tech and business outcomes — the ones who can debug code and board slides in the same afternoon.
What That Looks Like
A fractional CIO cutting cloud waste before Series D funding.
A Head of AI Infrastructure steering your next-gen product roadmap.
A CTO-for-hire rebuilding systems to support 10x scale.
A Cloud Architect who finally makes complexity disappear
Inside the CIO Grid™
We don’t rely on job boards, algorithms, or recruiter pipelines.
Our edge comes from proximity. We live in Silicon Valley’s tech trenches, talking daily with the CIOs, CTOs, and architects building what’s next.
We don’t source talent, we spot operators who transform.
The ones who can own outcomes and move the business forward.
That’s why our placements stick.
They don’t just fit the role, they fix what’s broken.
