Fractional CTO

CTO-level engineering leadership on a part-time basis, embedded in your team.

Who this is for

• Startups (Seed through Series B) with a growing engineering team and no senior technical leader
• PE portfolio companies that need to stabilize the tech function post-acquisition
• Growth-stage companies where shipping has slowed and nobody can explain why

What I own

• Technical strategy: architecture decisions, build vs. buy, technology selection, roadmap alignment
• Delivery: release process, sprint cadence, deployment pipeline, unblocking the team
• Team building: hiring process, interview loops, onboarding, coaching engineering leads
• Technical debt: inventory, prioritization, and a plan that actually gets executed
• Vendor & tooling: evaluation, negotiation, integration decisions
• Board & investor communication: translating engineering reality for non-technical stakeholders

Engagement format

3-6 months typical.
