    I'm very grateful that TAG CXO exists. As a founder and CIO for a medium-sized business it can be challenging to meet all of the operational demands required to function in a world of fast-changing technology, security and compliance requirements. Our fractional CISO used his valuable decades of expertise in the industry to get us further down the road faster and elevated the rest of our C-level team at the same time. Additionally, we found the entire TAG team to be very generous and flexible as we dialed in our exact needs for maximum impact.
    Mark RolandCIO/Founder of Abenity, Inc.
    With fractional CIO services and enterprise-level expertise, TAG helped us to successfully overcome a huge lack of support from software developers and vendors.
    Bill KeltonVice President | Buesing Corp (specialty civil contractor)
    TAG can see the world very clearly. And looking at the unique nature of our business, they not only painted a picture of what can be, but began implementing steps to navigate the changes required to build a very robust and powerful IT program.
    Tony JohnsonSVP Operations | Large legal, non-profit
    I really appreciated how refreshing it was to get very candid feedback, and timely feedback, in a very unvarnished, direct, but kind and honest way – that was extremely valuable to us. It helped us to make the decisions that we needed to make.
    Wayne Swindler CFO | Large legal non-profit
    Our executive from TAG CXO helped Buesing identify the right set of IT strategies that align with our key business objectives, then went to work making practical improvements to our core systems, our infrastructure, our internal IT group, and our vendors.
    Bryon MatesiPresident & COO | Buesing Corp (specialty civil contractor)
    Paul’s IT expertise is second to none, but what really sets him apart is his strategic approach. He took the time to meet with multiple members of our team to gain a clear understanding of our needs. Only then did he present a concise report of his findings and a comprehensive plan tailored to our specific requirements.
