MyChiefTech exists because every growing business in Chattanooga deserves a CTO-caliber leader — without the full-time salary that usually comes with it.
Greg Arnold's career in technology leadership started in the United States Navy, where he learned that mission-critical systems don't tolerate guesswork. From there, he spent over two decades building and leading engineering teams at scale — including roles at Lumen Technologies and other Fortune 500 organizations — overseeing infrastructure, architecture, and digital transformation initiatives.
After twenty years of watching small and mid-sized businesses struggle with technology decisions they weren't equipped to make, Greg founded MyChiefTech in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The premise was simple: the businesses that need CTO-level guidance the most are the ones that can least afford a full-time CTO.
Chattanooga — known as "Gig City" for its pioneering citywide 10-gig fiber network — is home to thousands of innovative businesses with growing technology needs and zero local fractional CTO options. Until now.
Greg brings an AI-native approach to every engagement. That means 48-hour roadmaps, automated audit workflows, and operational efficiency that traditional consulting firms simply cannot match. One person, full CTO capability, no overhead.
Work With GregSystems operations and leadership under mission-critical conditions. Learned that downtime has consequences far beyond dollars.
Led engineering teams at Lumen Technologies and comparable organizations. Oversaw infrastructure architecture, platform migrations, and multi-million dollar technology budgets.
Two decades building teams, selecting platforms, managing vendors, and turning technology from a cost center into a growth engine.
Brought enterprise-grade CTO leadership to Chattanooga's small and mid-sized businesses. The city's first — and only — dedicated fractional CTO practice.
Every recommendation comes with a dollar value attached. We measure success by the savings identified, the risks mitigated, and the revenue enabled — not by hours logged.
Clear deliverables. No hidden fees, no scope creep, no "it depends" without a real answer. Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you need and what you'll get.
We don't act like consultants who parachute in and hand off a PDF. We embed in your business as your CTO — attending your meetings, knowing your team, owning the outcomes.
