Fractional executive leadership

Three seats at the table. One accountable lead.

OrchLane provides fractional vCISO, CPO and CIO leadership for companies that need senior judgment on risk, data and technology — before they need three full-time executives.

01 — Services

Senior leadership, sized to the company you are today.

Take one role or combine them. Each runs on a regular cadence with your team, with clear ownership and reporting to management and the board.

02 — Approach

From first look to a program that runs without me.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Interviews, a systems review and a plain-language picture of where the risk actually sits.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A prioritised roadmap tied to your goals, your budget and the audits or deals ahead.

  3. 03

    Lead

    Part-time, embedded leadership. A weekly cadence with your team, regular reporting to the board.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    When you're ready for a full-time executive, I help hire them and hand over a working program.

Kobie Bendalak

Founder · Principal advisor

I lead every OrchLane engagement myself. There's no junior bench behind the pitch — the person you meet is the person in your leadership meeting every week.

I work with a small number of companies at a time, so the advice stays specific to your business, your regulators and your customers.

I'm a hands-on AI engineer, not just an AI strategist. I build with LLMs and AI agents every day, so advice on AI adoption, AI risk and AI-driven product comes from what actually works in production — not from a slide.

I also run several ventures of my own, from early ideas to real products — so the advice comes from someone who is building and shipping, not just advising.
