Fractional CTO · Reyem Tech · BNI Upper Canada
I'm the outsourced “tech boss” for growing companies that are too big to keep winging their technology, but too small to hire a full-time one. When a business runs on software and the owner is in over their head on tech, AI, or security, I step in part-time and sort it out.
Who to refer me to — forget job titles & revenue
A business owner whose company runs on technology, is growing or changing fast, and has nobody senior in charge of the tech.
A real company with a team (roughly 5–100 people) — not a solo freelancer, not a giant corporation — where computers, software, or data are central to how they make money, and the owner is the one losing sleep over it. You already know people like this. It's your neighbour, your brother-in-law, someone from a chamber mixer, a friend who owns a shop. Anyone who runs a growing business and grumbles about their technology.
Not a fit: if it's a person with a computer problem, not a company with a technology problem, it's probably not me.
The tell — listen for one of these
Any of these = “You should talk to Mario.”
The easiest way to refer me
The Technology Health Check
$2,000 · flat, fixed-scope
Don't try to explain everything I do — just hand off the Health Check: a fixed-scope review of a company's tech, systems, AI-readiness, and risk. They get a written report in ~2 weeks: an overall Technology Health Score (out of 100), a prioritized list of their biggest risks, and a 90-day action roadmap of quick wins — across nine areas from strategy and security to AI & data.
Lead with their problem, not the price: “Sounds like your systems can't keep up. I know a fractional CTO who does a fixed-scope tech check-up that pinpoints exactly what to fix — flat fee, no obligation. Want an intro?” If they say yes, just send me the name.
Your contact sphere — my power partners
If your seat is one of these, you're my best referral source — and I'm yours.
A cyber-insurance broker sells right against “we had a security scare.” An M&A lawyer or business broker hears “getting ready to sell” all day — that's my marquee result (cleared PE due-diligence → acquired). We serve the same owners at different moments. Let's trade.
Proof — same playbook at $3M or getting ready to sell
A Canadian consumer-products company (three brands, ~$2.5–3M revenue, a tiny back office) whose orders came through seven disconnected channels, all re-keyed by hand — no CRM, 30 years of patched-together tech. I came in as fractional CTO, mapped everything, and delivered a funded roadmap.
A GTA pharma-marketing agency where I led firm-wide AI adoption, secured an Ontario DMAP grant, and rebuilt their tech, security, and governance to enterprise standard — work that helped clear technical due-diligence for the company to be acquired by a large pharmaceutical private-equity firm.

In plain terms
Making the intro — easy & clean
Introducing someone is low-risk — and it pays off. My biggest contract closed in days, not months, on a single referral. I'll take great care of anyone you send.
Any business owner (from anyone in your network, not just your clients) whose growing company runs on technology and has no full-time tech leader. Seed the $2,000 Health Check as the easy, no-risk first step.
A second set of eyes on any tech, AI, or software decision you're weighing · introductions into my networks (chambers, startup ecosystems, tech communities) · vendor & quote sanity-checks · referrals to trusted implementation partners for build work.
