Fractional CTO.
Senior technology leadership, part-time. We make sure the decisions that are expensive to reverse are made well — and that your board understands what is being decided and why.
Senior judgement, at the right moments.
Most companies don’t need a full-time technology leader. They need a small number of good decisions made well — and someone accountable for them.
Technology strategy & roadmap
A direction the rest of the business can plan around — what to build, what to buy, what to retire, and in what order. Reviewed as the business changes, not set once and filed.
Direction the business can plan aroundArchitecture & supplier review
We review the decisions that are expensive to reverse — platform choices, build-versus-buy, key suppliers — before they harden into liabilities.
Catch the costly call before it landsTeam building & hiring
We help you hire well, mentor the engineers you have, and set the standards they work to — including hiring your eventual full-time CTO when the time comes.
Hire, mentor, and hand overSecurity & governance
Risk expressed in terms a board can weigh: what it would cost, what it would expose, and what closing the gap takes. Governance that is proportionate, not theatre.
Risk quantified, not vagueDue diligence
Technology due diligence for investment, acquisition or partnership — an honest read of what is really there, the risks, and what it would take to put right.
Buy-side & sell-sideBoard-ready reporting
Plain-English reporting that leads with the decision, puts a number on the risk, and shows the direction of travel. The translation between technology and the people holding the budget.
Decision first, detail in the appendixLeverage, not coverage.
Fractional work is about a small number of good decisions a month — set up so the value is clear and the arrangement is easy to leave.
A defined cadence
A fixed amount of senior time each month — a day a week, a day a fortnight — on a rhythm you can rely on, not ad-hoc.
Clear scope
We agree what matters this quarter and what success looks like, so the time goes to the decisions with the most leverage.
An exit that works
Documented as we go, owned by you, with notice on either side. Easy to leave by design — which is usually why people stay.
Not sure if you need one yet?
We’ll tell you honestly.
A 30-minute call, no obligation. We’ll tell you plainly whether fractional leadership fits — even when the honest answer is ‘not yet’.
