The firm also adds a security practice, led by a fractional CISO.
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nonlinear Advisors today announced its launch, bringing the fractional COO, CFO and advisory services provided since 2021 under a single brand. The firm serves high-growth companies in digital assets, decentralized finance, compliance, artificial intelligence, defense technology and life sciences.
With the launch, Nonlinear is adding a security practice led by a fractional chief information security officer (CISO). The practice builds the defenses companies need as attackers adopt AI tools of their own, prepares companies for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits, and responds to investor and counterparty due diligence.
Nonlinear also advises companies on AI strategy and governance: where AI adds value, what it costs, and the controls and oversight that govern its use.
The firm typically works with companies during a financing, a period of rapid growth or a first security audit, and remains engaged until the company hires a permanent executive. Its founding partners include a former official of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a retired U.S. Coast Guard commander.
The launch coincides with a broader shift toward fractional leadership. The Financial Times, citing Revelio Labs data, reported in September 2026 that the fractional share of new executive postings has nearly tripled in five years.
“Growth at the technical edge is seldom linear, and organizations seldom keep pace with it,” said Brandon Neal, Founding Partner of Nonlinear Advisors. “AI is changing how the work of finance, operations and security gets done. It has not changed who is accountable for the decisions. That is the role we take on for our clients.”
