Newf Advisory

Senior technology leadership, on retainer.

Fractional CTO and CIO for founder-led companies, PE portfolio companies, and professional services firms in the New York metro area.

The Problem

You have a growing company. You don't have a senior technologist or operations leader on the team, and hiring one full-time means a 12-month recruiting cycle for a $250K+ salary you may not be ready to make.

Meanwhile:

  • •Customers send security questionnaires no one on your team can confidently answer
  • •Vendors pitch projects you have no internal expertise to evaluate
  • •Your board expects operational maturity you haven't built yet
  • •Your MSP runs the helpdesk. Nobody is running the strategy.

What We Do

Newf Advisory places a senior operator inside your business on a fractional basis. You get the judgment of a CTO or CIO at a fraction of the cost. No recruiting cycle. No severance risk. No learning curve.

We work primarily with founder-led companies, PE portfolio companies, and professional services firms in the New York metro area.

Why Newf

We are operators, not consultants. The people in your business have done the job at companies your size, in real situations, with real budgets. We do not produce reports you put in a drawer. We evaluate vendors, run the migration, and sit in the room when leadership makes a call with a technology consequence.

We are vertical-agnostic. The pattern is always the same: revenue, ambition, and a leadership gap.
