Tom Altman is a fractional CIO and technology strategist with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations align technology with business strategy. He works with leadership teams to simplify complex technology environments, strengthen operational foundations, and position companies for long-term growth. Through his work with Altus CXO, Tom provides executive-level technology leadership to organizations that need strategic guidance but may not require a full-time CIO or CTO.
Tom often describes his role as “pouring digital concrete.” Before companies can fully benefit from automation, analytics, or artificial intelligence, they need strong systems, clean data, and well-defined processes. Tom helps organizations build those digital foundations by mapping systems, improving workflows, and connecting technology investments directly to business outcomes. His work frequently supports companies navigating ERP implementations, rapid growth, leadership transitions, or broader digital transformation initiatives.
In addition to his consulting work, Tom supports entrepreneurs and small businesses through the Greater Iowa City Business Resource Center, where he provides guidance on technology strategy and operational systems. He is particularly interested in helping organizations become AI-ready, ensuring they have the systems, data structure, and operational clarity needed to successfully adopt emerging technologies.
