Technology leadership built for organizations that answer to a mission.
We started Ochyo because the organizations doing some of the most important work — serving communities, advancing causes, and governing public life — are often the ones with the least access to senior technology leadership.
Closing the technology leadership gap in the public and social sector
Nonprofits, foundations, and government agencies are expected to modernize, secure, and scale their technology — with a fraction of the leadership resources available to the private sector. Ochyo exists to close that gap.
We embed experienced, senior technology executives directly into organizations on an interim basis, giving them the strategic leadership needed to make sound decisions about systems, vendors, staff, and risk.
Embedded leadership, not just advice
An Ochyo interim CTO or CIO works alongside your existing staff and leadership team — not as an outside consultant delivering a report, but as a member of your team responsible for outcomes.
We focus on strategy, systems, and people together, because technology decisions in mission-driven and government organizations are rarely just technical. Every engagement is scoped to your organization's timeline, budget, and goals.
Why mission-driven organizations and governments choose Ochyo
Sector Fluency
We understand nonprofit budgets, public procurement, and the accountability that comes with public and philanthropic funding.
Flexible Engagement
Part-time, full-time, or project-based — engagements are structured around what your organization actually needs.
Built-In Handoff
Every engagement includes knowledge transfer, so your organization is stronger after we leave than when we arrived.
What guides how we work
Stewardship
We treat every dollar of technology spend as public or philanthropic money, because it is. Recommendations are grounded in what your organization can sustain.
Pragmatism
We favor practical, phased solutions over ambitious overhauls that stall out. Progress your team can maintain beats a perfect plan that never ships.
Transparency
You'll always know what we're doing, why, and what it costs. No black boxes, no jargon used to obscure rather than clarify.
Capacity-Building
Our goal is never to make an organization dependent on us. We measure success by the capability we leave behind.
