Director of Enablement, 501 - 1,000 employees
Absolutely, and in many ways, I think this is the best operating model

Many CIOs come in with good energy and try to get as much done as possible in the first 12 months of employment, however they eventually become too-connected or 'blind' to many issues in an environment. Stuff is 'just good enough' and there's lots of accepted risk

As a fractional role, it's a lot harder to get complacent with strategy

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
