Hello
I'm Jim Baker, a seasoned technology executive with a journey that began in the trenches of software development and led to the boardrooms of high-growth SaaS. Over the years, I've worn many hats - from co-founding a boutique tech firm in London to steering the technology vision of NASDAQ-listed companies.
​
At my core, I'm someone who's passionate about harnessing technology to solve real-world problems. I've seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with scaling a business. And now, I'm eager to bring that wealth of experience to startups and small businesses, helping them navigate their tech journey and achieve their vision.
That's why I founded Caballito Group - to provide high-value advisory services around technology strategy and operations, as well as fractional CIO, CTO, and CISO roles. I provide these services either personally or through a network of trusted associates and partners who share my passion in helping small businesses achieve their optimal outcomes. I also provide these services discounted or pro-bono for select non-profits.
​
If you're looking for a partner who understands the intricacies of technology, the nuances of team dynamics, and the essence of growth, let's chat.
