Fractional CTO services for Rio Grande Valley businesses
Executive technology leadership without the executive price tag. Built for Valley startups, scaling operators, and growth-stage companies that need a real CTO — just not full-time.
You need a CTO. You don't need to pay $180K/year for one.
The problem it solvesScaling companies in the Rio Grande Valley often hit a critical inflection point where they've outgrown having the founder make every technical decision, but they're not big enough — or funded enough — to justify a full-time CTO. That's the gap a fractional CTO fills.
Chris Migliorini, founder of Pronova, has 15+ years of experience leading technology for businesses across logistics, healthcare, and professional services. He's based in Brownsville and can work with Valley clients in-person when the situation calls for it.

Fractional CTO in the RGV — common questions
FAQsWhat is a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO provides executive-level technology leadership on a part-time or project basis. You get a real CTO — someone who sets strategy, manages vendors, reviews architecture, and leads your tech team — without the $150,000+ full-time salary.
What does a fractional CTO cost?
Most fractional CTO engagements run $3,000–$8,000 per month depending on scope and hours. For context: a single bad hiring decision, vendor contract, or architecture choice often costs more than a year of fractional CTO services.
Is there demand for fractional CTOs in the RGV?
More than you might expect. The Valley has a growing number of funded startups, rapidly scaling logistics and healthcare companies, and government contractors who need real technical leadership but can't justify or afford a full-time CTO hire.
What can a fractional CTO actually do for my Valley business?
Technology strategy and roadmapping, vendor and contract evaluation, architecture decisions, hiring and managing development teams, diligence support for fundraising, and leading product development without you having to be the technical decision-maker.
How do you work with RGV companies that need in-person availability?
We're based in Brownsville. For Valley clients, we can meet in person regularly. For companies in McAllen, Harlingen, Edinburg, or Laredo, we combine in-person meetings with video calls to match whatever cadence works for your team.
