About TVG

Built by someone who's actually been in your chair.

TVG wasn't founded by a consultant who studied IT from the outside. It was built by someone who ran IT operations, managed real budgets, and made high-stakes technology decisions with real consequences — for over two decades. TVG serves as an extension of your leadership team: the experienced advisor who's been in your chair and isn't going anywhere.

What drives TVG

Three commitments that shape every advisory engagement.

Service Above Self

Veteran-owned and operated. TVG was built on the same standard Chris was trained on: service above self. Your interests come first — not because it's a policy, but because that's the only way he knows how to operate.

Honest Over Comfortable

You'll get what TVG actually sees — in plain business language, without hedging. Sound decision? You'll hear it. Something warrants concern? That gets surfaced. TVG gives one kind of answer: straight.

Advisory-First, Always

TVG's obligation is to your outcome — established by your retainer before any solution is ever discussed. That sequence is what makes honest advisory possible, and it's the foundation every TVG engagement is built on.

Chris Sliga

Founder, TVG — The Vircios Group

I spent over two decades as the person making technology decisions — not advising on them. Complicated environments, real budgets, leadership teams that wanted answers they could act on. The kind of places where a wrong call costs real money and the stakes are never theoretical.

What I found consistently: advice was always available. Independent advice wasn't. Vendors had an angle. Consultants were selling something. The executive in the room was often the only one without a financial stake in the outcome — and also the one making the final call with the least information.

I started TVG to be the advisor I never had. No product line. No vendor agenda. Just someone who's been in the chair, knows where the bodies are buried, and will tell you what I actually think — even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.

Built and tested disaster recovery programs that performed under real conditions
Navigated hundreds of vendor relationships — the good, the bad, and the ones I should have fired sooner
Two decades inside banking, financial services, and regulated environments — GLBA, FFIEC, HIPAA, SOX, and the audit cycles that come with them
U.S. Air Force veteran — service above self is not a marketing line
Two decades means I've made mistakes. I'll tell you about those too.

The TVG difference

Why executives engage TVG.

Founder-led, every engagement

Every TVG engagement is led by the founder — not handed off to an associate after the pitch, not triaged by a project coordinator, not rotated between analysts. Two decades of executive IT decision-making on every call. That's the standard, and it doesn't change as TVG grows.

Judgment, not just access

You can Google a vendor. You can ask AI to compare them. What you can't do is Google what it's actually like when their implementation goes off the rails at 11pm, who actually answers the phone, or what their contract looks like when you try to leave. Twenty years of those moments is what TVG brings to the table.

Implementation oversight, no markup

TVG stays through go-live. Your chosen provider delivers — TVG makes sure they do. Oversight is included in your retainer. No project fees. No markup.

TVG tells you when you don't need anything

When a solution isn't warranted, TVG says so clearly. Honest advisory works in both directions — that's what earns the relationship.
