I am proud to announce that Aaron Martin is the first graduate of the Fractional Executive Certification Program and is now officially a Certified Fractional Executive. As a member of our founding cohort, Aaron brought thoughtful questions, extensive executive experience, and a genuine commitment to strengthening his fractional practice. Aaron is the Founder of Glass River Technologies and a Technology Clarity Advisor for growing nonprofits. He helps nonprofit leaders better understand: • What technology they currently have • Where risks and gaps may exist • Which issues deserve attention first • How technology investments can better support the organization’s mission With more than 25 years of experience as a CIO, CTO, and CISO, Aaron brings the strategic perspective of an experienced technology executive without requiring an organization to hire a full-time executive. His work begins with assessment and clarity, rather than immediately recommending new systems or solutions. From there, he helps organizations strengthen governance, identify risks, reduce complexity, and develop a practical technology roadmap. Aaron, congratulations on becoming our first Certified Fractional Executive. It has been a privilege to watch you refine your positioning, offers, proposals, and plans throughout the program. I am excited to see what comes next for you and Glass River Technologies.

Hello Everyone, I am glad to be here and look forward to getting to know everybody! I am a Fractional CFO and really enjoy working with businesses that want to grow and be successful. I have spent 38 years as a CPA working on the transactional side of things and realized businesses needed more forward thinking and strategic planning in order to be successful. I have found that CFO Advisory work is what truly helps businesses stay on track and reach their goals. I look forward to learning from this group and making some great connections. Excited to be here! Stephen

Hi everyone—glad to be here! I’m a seasoned database consultant focused on turning messy, slow systems into fast, reliable data platforms. Most of my work is helping organizations fix performance issues, stabilize critical systems, and get more value out of the data they already have. Lately, I’ve been layering AI and automation on top of those data systems—helping teams move faster, reduce manual work, and actually use their data to drive decisions instead of just store it. I’ve worked across industries like finance, healthcare, logistics, and education, usually stepping in when things are complex or not working the way they should. Looking forward to connecting—especially with anyone dealing with data challenges, scaling systems, or exploring how AI fits into their operations. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billennis/
