Fractional CTO Services
Executive-level technical guidance for companies ready to scale thoughtfully — engaged precisely when and how you need it.
You gain the strategic insight of a seasoned technology executive—someone who has built and scaled engineering teams, architected enterprise systems, and navigated the complex intersection of technology and business — without committing to a full-time salary.
This model is designed for growing companies that have outpaced DIY solutions but aren't yet ready for a six-figure executive hire. The engagement flexes with your needs; intensive during critical periods, lighter during steady-state operations.
The result is informed decision-making at every level—from daily technical choices to multi-year roadmap development—grounded in decades of real-world experience.
Seed to Series A companies with non-technical founders who need to build their first engineering team, establish technical culture, and make foundational architecture decisions.
Multi-location medical practices, therapy networks, and wellness centres navigating data protection requirements, patient management systems, and the integration of billing platforms.
Direct-to-consumer brands wrestling with platform decisions, inventory systems, fulfilment integrations, and customer data architecture.
Regional manufacturers and distributors modernising legacy systems, implementing ERP solutions, and building digital capabilities to remain competitive.
Design studios, marketing agencies, and production companies managing complex project workflows, digital asset systems, and client collaboration platforms.
Consultancies,, accountancy firms, and law firms with employees managing client data, regulatory requirements, and operational systems that have grown organically without strategic oversight.
Access executive-caliber leadership at 10–40% of a full-time CTO's total compensation, redirecting capital toward growth initiatives and technical implementation.
Skip the six-month learning curve. A fractional CTO brings pattern recognition from dozens of engagements, identifying opportunities and risks faster.
External positioning enables honest assessment of technical debt, team capabilities, and vendor relationships without political entanglement.
Scale engagement intensity to match business cycles—increase involvement during launches or crises, reduce during stable periods.
Leverage established relationships with vetted agencies, contractors, and technology vendors cultivated across years of industry practice.
Reduce costly technical decisions, security vulnerabilities, and vendor lock-in through experienced due diligence and governance frameworks.

Connecting your CRM, accounting, inventory, and operational tools so data flows automatically and your team stops copying between spreadsheets.
Identifying repetitive manual processes and implementing automation — from simple Zapier flows to custom integrations that save hours weekly.
