Not every organization is ready for a full-time CTO — but every organization making technology decisions needs one. A Fractional CTO gives you access to senior-level strategic guidance on a part-time basis, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire. I work alongside your leadership team to set technology direction, evaluate vendors, guide your development staff, and make sure your technology investments are actually serving your mission or business goals.
What I Help With
- Technology strategy and multi-year roadmap development
- Vendor evaluation, contract negotiation, and ongoing oversight
- Engineering team hiring, structuring, and mentorship
- Architecture reviews and technical risk assessments
- Board and executive-level technology communication
- Due diligence support for funding rounds or mergers
Who This Is For
- Growing startups that need strategic tech leadership but aren't ready to hire a full-time CTO
- Nonprofits and SMBs making significant technology investments without internal expertise to guide them
- Organizations whose founding technical leader has moved on, leaving a leadership gap
- Executive teams that want an experienced technologist in the room for key decisions
The Approach
Fractional CTO engagements are structured around your organization's actual needs — typically a set number of hours per month, with flexibility to scale up during critical periods like product launches, vendor transitions, or hiring pushes. The goal is to be a consistent, trusted presence in your leadership conversations, not just an on-call advisor.
