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.
