Most builders, manufacturers, and industrial firms never hire a CIO. I sit in that seat.
Owners and CFOs hire people who’ve done the job, not another MSP pitch.
Jeff Dennis
I’m Jeff Dennis, founder and CEO of TRNSFRM. I also sit in the fractional CIO seat for a ~$150M Ohio construction company: the empty chair mid-size builders, manufacturers, and industrial firms leave while they chase government work that demands NIST and CMMC.
I started TRNSFRM in 2008 because ticket-shop MSPs weren’t built for that job. You need someone who owns systems, cyber, and the bid, then a senior engineer who can show you where you stand in 45 minutes.

So stoked with Jeff and his team. These guys are professional, courteous, timely and super knowledgeable. I was able to describe our networking problem, show them our systems and from there they just went to town figuring out what was really wrong and providing an affordable solution!
