- Fractional CTO
Navigate the complexities of technology with a seasoned leader by your side. As your Fractional CTO, I embed into your business to provide the strategic direction, technical oversight, and executive leadership needed to scale, without the full-time cost. I turn technical challenges into your greatest competitive advantages.
Strategic Technology Roadmapping
I translate your business vision into a clear, actionable technology plan. We’ll prioritize initiatives based on ROI, define a realistic budget, and build a timeline that aligns your tech with your growth goals.
Team Leadership & Mentoring
I provide the technical leadership your development team needs. From mentoring junior developers to managing external agencies, I ensure your team is motivated, productive, and building the right things, the right way.
Technical Oversight & Quality Assurance
I act as your quality gatekeeper. I review architectures, enforce best practices, and ensure every piece of technology built for you is secure, scalable, and maintainable, dramatically reducing long-term costs.
Vendor & Tool Selection
I cut through the marketing hype. I leverage my deep industry knowledge to select the right tools, platforms, and third-party services for your specific needs, ensuring you get maximum value from every dollar spent.
Ideal for Visionary Leaders at Key Growth Stages
This service is designed for founders and executives who see technology as a strategic lever, not just a cost center. If you’re facing complex technical decisions without an executive to guide you, I provide the missing leadership.
Seed to Series A Startups
You need to build a scalable, fundable tech foundation and avoid costly early mistakes that could limit future growth or investment.
Established SMBs Hitting Growth Walls
Rapid growth has made your current tech stack chaotic, inefficient, or a security risk. You need to refactor for scale.
Founders with a Development Team
Your team lacks a strategic leader to provide technical direction, manage technical debt, and mentor developers to their full potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends entirely on your needs. Engagements can range from 10 hours per month for strategic guidance to multiple days per week for hands-on leadership during a critical build phase. We’ll define the scope that’s right for you.
Seamlessly. I act as the head of your technology department. I work directly with your developers, report to you (the founder/CEO), and collaborate with other department heads to ensure technology supports the entire business.
A Project Manager manages tasks, timelines, and communication. As your CTO, I provide the vision, strategy, and technical authority. I decide what we build and why, ensuring the technical solution actually achieves the business goal. I often work with a PM to ensure flawless execution.
Not necessarily. While many clients retain me for ongoing strategy, I can also engage for a specific, critical period, such as leading the development of a new product version or rescuing a struggling project.
