Fractional CTO & Technical Consulting

Part-time technical leadership.

For technology decisions that affect growth, operations, risk or capital: advice at leadership level from someone who also works on the implementation.

  • Business-first judgment

    Technical decisions are tied to revenue, cost, risk and the people who use the system.

  • An independent view

    A second opinion on platforms, vendors, proposals and tradeoffs before you commit money or time.

  • Advice tied to delivery

    Strategy stays connected to architecture, implementation, verification, and a maintainable handoff.

Where a fractional CTO helps

What this looks like in practice

Technology strategy and roadmap

Translate business priorities into a practical technical plan with clear sequencing, ownership, and investment decisions.

  • Current-state technology and workflow assessment
  • 90-day and 12-month roadmap
  • Build-versus-buy recommendations
  • Budget, sequencing, and risk tradeoffs

Architecture and technical due diligence

Review the systems, vendors, data flows and technical debt before they become expensive problems.

  • Application and integration architecture reviews
  • Security, resilience, and maintainability assessment
  • Vendor and platform evaluation
  • Technical diligence for acquisitions or major investments

Delivery and team leadership

Give internal teams and outside vendors one accountable technical direction from planning through launch.

  • Backlog, milestones, and acceptance criteria
  • Engineering hiring and vendor management
  • Weekly executive progress and risk reporting
  • Project rescue and delivery stabilization

AI and automation advice

Decide which automation is worth doing, then oversee the work with agreed measures.

  • AI and automation opportunity mapping
  • ROI, data-readiness, and workflow analysis
  • Human review, controls, and operating policies
  • Pilot design, vendor selection, and rollout oversight
