Fractional CTO

You need senior technology leadership, but a full-time hire is the wrong tool for where you are. Three strategy sessions a month, a monthly written review you can share with your board, direct access to your engineering team, and someone who challenges your thinking before the decision is made, not after.

What is included every month
Three strategy sessions

Monthly cadence of structured working sessions. Not status updates; decisions, direction, and the things that need senior judgment before they go wrong.

Monthly technology review

A written review of where the technology program stands, delivered to you and shareable with your CEO or board. What moved, what is at risk, and what needs a decision.

One team session

A working session directly with your engineering leadership or team. Architecture, process, culture, or whatever is the highest-leverage point of contact that month.

Async support

Available for questions, reviews, and input between sessions. Not unlimited, but available when something needs a read before it moves forward.

This works well when

You have a strong engineering team but no senior technology leader. You need someone who can own the strategic layer while your team owns delivery.

You are navigating a significant technology decision: a platform migration, an architecture change, a major hiring decision, or a board-level technology conversation.

You need technology leadership represented in investor, board, or client conversations without the overhead of a full-time CTO hire at this stage.

You have completed an Architecture Review or a sprint engagement and want continuity: someone who knows your organization and can keep the trajectory honest.

How it starts

Scope and pricing are determined in a scoping call. Where you are dictates what the first month looks like: a team with no technology leadership needs a different starting point from one mid-way through an architecture change.

The 30-day exit clause is not a formality. If the engagement is not producing value, you should be able to end it quickly. That pressure is what keeps it honest.
