About Us
Bridging the gap between tech and exec.
Technology should support your mission - not slow it down. At Bridges CIO, we provide executive-level IT leadership for nonprofits, schools, and small businesses that need trusted guidance, strategic clarity, and people-first solutions - without the cost or complexity of a full-time CIO.
Where It All Began
Bridges CIO wasn’t born out of a business plan. It was born out of a conversation between purpose and possibility.
The original vision came from Megan Wollerton, a wellness entrepreneur who spent years helping individuals and organizations reconnect to what truly matters. She saw firsthand how many mission-driven teams were struggling; not because they lacked talent or heart, but because their technology was misaligned, unsupported, or flat-out working against them.
Megan envisioned something different: a company that could bridge the gap between leadership and operations, between technology and mission. A company grounded in strategy but driven by heart and faith. She brought that vision home—and together, we made it real.
Bringing the Vision to Life
With over 40 years of combined experience in IT, leadership, and business strategy, we took Megan’s vision and built the structure to support it. We launched Bridges CIO in Pittsburgh, the City of Bridges, as a nod to the company’s mission: to connect people, processes, and purpose through technology leadership.
Today, Bridges CIO helps organizations:
-
Navigate leadership transitions
-
Align technology with long-term goals
-
Mentor internal IT staff
-
Ensure compliance and operational integrity
-
And most importantly—move forward with clarity
We don’t just lead. We walk alongside you. That’s the difference.
What Makes Us Different
Most vCIO providers focus on tools, tickets, and selling vendor packages. We don’t.
Bridges CIO is proudly vendor-agnostic. We don’t sell products or recommend solutions based on commissions or incentives. Our guidance is grounded in your needs, your history, and our experience—not anyone else’s sales agenda.
We do maintain a trusted network of affiliate partners, each one personally vetted based on their operational integrity, track record, and alignment with our values. If we suggest someone, it’s because we’ve seen them deliver—not because we’re getting paid to say so.
No markups. No hidden agendas. Just leadership you can trust.
