You shouldn't be the most senior technology decision-maker in your own company.
You grew past the point where technology takes care of itself. A full-time CIO is overkill for where you are, and going without one means the vendor calls, the build-or-buy questions, the security worries, and the AI noise all land on your desk. Bantam Digital puts a seasoned technology executive in your corner, on retainer, without the enterprise salary. AI strategy is part of the job, not a separate one.
Who This Is For
The company that has outgrown ad hoc technology decisions
You run a business somewhere between $10M and $100M in revenue. You may have one or two capable engineers or developers, but no one whose actual job is to own technology direction. Every meaningful call still routes through you, and you're making those calls in the margins, between everything else a CEO does in a day.
The Engagement
Three levels of presence
Every engagement is built on the same four responsibilities: setting technology direction, owning the decisions, running the AI roadmap, and providing the leadership and oversight your team is missing. The tiers differ in depth and presence, not in the seniority of the person doing the work.
- A monthly strategy session on what to build, buy, or stop
- Decision support when vendor, architecture, or budget questions come up
- A quarterly technology roadmap tied to your business goals
- Everything in Advisor, at a working cadence
- Vendor and project oversight, so initiatives actually land
- A standing seat in your leadership meetings as the technology voice
- Direction for your engineers, so their work ties back to the business
- Everything in Operating Partner, at full presence
- Ownership of the full roadmap and multiple workstreams at once
- Hands-on oversight through a transformation, migration, or build
What you're renting is judgment, not labor.
We set the direction, make the decisions, and oversee the work. We don't run a help desk or write your code. Execution stays with your engineers, or with our vetted network when you don't have the bench. That boundary is deliberate, it's what keeps this an executive relationship instead of one more vendor on the invoice list.
Why Bantam
20 years running global technology operations at a $400B AUM investment manager. Forty-person teams, multimillion-dollar budgets, a CRM implementation adopted across seven offices, and AWS migrations that cut cloud costs by 30%. That experience, applied at the scale of your business, without the enterprise overhead that comes with it.
Thirty minutes on where technology is costing you time, money, or momentum. If a retainer is the right move, we'll scope it together. If it isn't, you'll leave with a clearer picture either way.
