Here's a number that should make every business leader pause:
In 2022, there were 60,000 fractional executives operating across North America.
By 2024, that number had doubled to 120,000.
In 2026, demand for fractional CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs specifically is up more than 40% year-over-year.
This isn't a fringe movement anymore. It's a structural shift in how mid-market companies access executive technology talent, and the businesses paying attention are putting former Fortune 500 CIOs in their boardrooms for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Our Founder & CEO Olga Fragis just published a no-nonsense breakdown of what's driving the trend, when fractional makes sense (and when it doesn't), and what to look for in the right engagement.
If you're leading a mid-market company in 2026, this one's worth your 9 minutes.
