Background
Over the last 15 years, Joseph Holko has worked with hundreds of companies, including foundations, investment firms, and professional services companies, often as a fractional CTO or senior technology advisor. Across all of them the goal is the same: help leadership make technology decisions that hold up to the people who pay for them.
Earlier in his career, he helped grow a managed services business from a small operation into a company ranking in the top 1% of revenue in the space, before it was eventually sold. Most of that work was unglamorous: vendor negotiations, infrastructure planning, cloud migrations, security decisions, pricing pressure, and the day-to-day operational problems clients usually never see.
After the sale, he led the integration of four acquired companies into a single operating environment, then oversaw internal infrastructure, procurement, support operations, and vendor management. That gave him a close view of both the technical and the financial realities behind technology services businesses.
At FyrTech
At FyrTech, Joseph focuses on two areas. The first is helping organizations evaluate their current IT relationships and technology direction. Having operated inside a services company himself, he tends to recognize quickly where a provider is aligned with a client's actual needs and where the sales process is covering for operational weaknesses.
The second is building FyrTech's internal AI tooling, work that currently centers on knowledge retrieval, workflow automation, and practical AI adoption inside operating businesses. He works best with organizations going through transition: growth, operational change, provider replacement, or post-acquisition integration.
