Boutique technology advisory.
Operator-built. Principal-led.
Cavalier Consulting is a boutique advisory firm delivering fractional CTO, CIO, and CISO leadership to mid-market companies across the United States — built by operators who have run the departments, written the policies, and presented the board books, not career consultants who have studied them.
A firm, not a freelancer.
One throat to choke. A bench behind it.
Cavalier is headquartered in Tampa Bay, with principals and clients in Washington D.C., New York, Boca Raton, and nationwide. We serve companies between 25 and 500 employees where technology decisions now carry strategic weight — private equity portfolio companies, financial services and fintech, healthcare and life sciences, defense industrial base, and professional services partnerships.
The firm is deliberately boutique. We do not compete on scale. We compete on the quality of senior judgment delivered consistently — the same methodology on every engagement, the same principal from the first call through the final review, the same specialist network when the work requires it.
We are vendor-independent: no managed services, no implementation, no reseller agreements, no referral fees. We get paid to be right.
- —Technology and security programs from zero — not from a template
- —SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001, NIST, and CMMC compliance programs
- —M&A technology due diligence across regulated industries
- —Post-acquisition technology integration under deal-clock pressure
- —Board-level technology and security presentations under SEC and PE scrutiny
