CIO JOE Schedule time with Joe
Fractional Technology & Business Leader · San Antonio, TX

Fortune 500 tech leadership. Fractional cost.

I'm Joe Rossi. I spent my career leading technology inside some of the biggest names in tech. Now I bring that same experience to growing Texas businesses: modernize your technology, cut your IT costs, and get through big changes like buying or selling a company... without paying for a full-time executive.

Where I earned it: Intel, Hitachi, Western Digital, SanDisk, SK and Marvell.

Let's talk today What I do

Joe Rossi · your fractional CIO
Have you outgrown your tech strategy?

Let's fix that.

Six ways I help, in plain terms. Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a contract.

01

A technology leader in your corner

For owners and executives: I sit at your table, cut through the hype, show you what's actually possible, and mentor your team along the way.

02

Make your technology dependable

Fewer outages, faster updates, less firefighting. I set up the same automation and reliability practices the top tech companies run on, sized for your business.

03

A clear plan for what's next

An honest look at what you have today, then a 12–24 month roadmap to a secure cloud setup (AWS, Azure or GCP) that grows with you instead of holding you back.

04

Stop overpaying for technology

I review what you spend on servers, software and cloud, and find real savings within 90 days. At Western Digital I helped save over $200M doing exactly this.

05

Buying or selling a company?

I've led five major merger integrations and separations, including splitting Intel and Altera apart. I make sure day one goes smoothly and your systems come together without drama.

06

AI that makes you money (or saves it)

Everyone's telling you to "do AI." I'll help you figure out what's real for your business and what's noise. We find the handful of places AI actually pays off, prove it with a small win first, and skip the rest. Because if it's not helping you make or save money, it's just a science experiment.

How I work

Put numbers and options on the table before spending big.

Go live cleanly, with day one planned down to the details.

5

Operate

Keep it running, keep it improving, keep costs honest.

Part of something bigger

CIO Joe is part of Rossi Works

Rossi Works is what my wife Marcy and I are building together: one company that bridges the gaps between art, business and technology. I bring the technology and business leadership. Marcy brings the creative side. So when your project needs more than an IT plan... a brand, a space, a product, a full launch... you don't have to hire three different companies and play general contractor between them.

You don't have to navigate technology alone.

Let's grab coffee in San Antonio or hop on a Zoom. Thirty minutes, no pitch, no pressure. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
