what is crickethoward.com

crickethoward.com offers a different kind of IT leadership, one built on independence, experience, and long-term partnership rather than sales.

As a Timeshare CTO, a model similar to a Fractional CTO or CIO, I help organizations align technology with business goals in a clear, cost-predictable way. I don’t sell software, hardware, or vendor packages, and I receive no incentives or commissions from providers. That independence ensures every recommendation is made purely in your best interest.

A Timeshare CTO provides consistent access to executive-level IT leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire. I stay connected to your operations, anticipate needs, and guide both strategy and execution so your technology evolves in step with your business.

For organizations with lighter or project-based needs, I also offer Standard Support, a traditional, as-needed consulting model that provides flexible access to the same depth of expertise on a scheduled or incident basis.

Whether you need strategic direction, project oversight, or hands-on technical guidance, my focus is on delivering measurable business value. Together, we’ll identify and integrate the right technologies, solutions that fit your operations, support your people, and make financial sense.

The result is simple: modern, effective, and sustainable IT that serves your business, not the other way around.
