The Power of Good Advice.
Our passion is helping start-up to scale-up stage technology companies move easily and dependably to the next level of growth by offering affordable interim, part-time and project-based C-level services.
Why Lift Bridge CXO as the name?
From Wikipedia…. A vertical-lift bridge or just lift bridge is a type of movable bridge in which a span rises vertically while remaining parallel with the deck. The vertical lift offers several benefits over other movable bridges. Generally speaking, they cost less to build for longer moveable spans.
​
We believe a lift bridge is a symbol of what we can do – lift tech companies to the next level, bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to go, all at a lower cost.

Client Testimonials
Solvonce
Reasonably priced. Practical advice.
Able to contribute on short notice when internal resources were not available.
Boosterville
Kathy brings a steady hand and a broad depth of real-world experience to the life of our software startup. Her objective feedback and integrity as a team member is invaluable in so many areas — pitch deck collaboration, objective executive coaching, investor reporting, go-to-market modeling, preparing financials, banking relationships. It's great to have access to such an experienced tech CFO when we need that extra brainpower.
