Senior Technology Leadership, Without the Full-Time Cost
Get a CTO who has built enterprise systems for 20 years, graduated from the Wharton CTO program, and solo-built a production AI platform — working for your company part-time.
You Need a CTO. But Not Full-Time.
Your dev team is building, but nobody is setting the strategic direction
You're making technology decisions that could cost millions if wrong
AI is transforming your industry, but you don't know where to start
Investors or the board want technology leadership they can trust
You're scaling fast and the architecture isn't keeping up
You need to hire engineers but don't know what good looks like
A CTO On Your Team, Not a Consultant
An embedded technology leader who attends your meetings, owns your roadmap, and is accountable for outcomes.
Technology Strategy & Roadmap
Define your 12-24 month technology vision aligned with business goals. Make buy/build/partner decisions with confidence.
AI & Digital Transformation
Identify AI opportunities, evaluate vendors, and lead adoption — from readiness assessment to production deployment.
Architecture & Tech Stack
Make the right technology choices. Cloud architecture, microservices strategy, database selection, API design, and scalability planning.
Engineering Team Building
Hire the right people, set up engineering processes, establish code review practices, CI/CD pipelines, and development culture.
Security & Compliance
SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR readiness. Security architecture review, vulnerability assessment, and compliance roadmap.
Board & Investor Reporting
Translate technology progress into business metrics. Due diligence support for fundraising, M&A, or board presentations.
Built for Companies That Are Ready to Scale
Startups (Seed to Series B)
Need a CTO's strategic thinking but can't justify a $300K+ salary yet. Get architecture decisions right from day one.
SMBs Going Digital
Revenue between $5M-$50M, have a dev team but no technology leadership. Need someone to set direction and raise the bar.
Non-Tech Companies
Traditional businesses adopting AI and modern technology. Need guidance on where to invest and how to avoid expensive mistakes.
PE/VC Portfolio Companies
Need technology due diligence, oversight across portfolio companies, or a post-acquisition technology integration lead.
Not a Career Consultant. A Builder.
Your Fractional CTO is someone who has actually built what they advise on.

Common Questions
What is a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CTO is a senior technology executive who works part-time across multiple companies, providing the strategic leadership of a full-time CTO at a fraction of the cost. Typical engagements are 10-20 hours per week.
How much does it cost?
Engagements typically range from $5,000-$15,000/month depending on scope and hours. Compare that to $250K-$400K+ for a full-time CTO salary. We offer flexible monthly arrangements with no long-term contracts.
How is this different from consulting?
Consultants deliver recommendations and leave. A Fractional CTO is an embedded leadership role — attending your leadership meetings, owning the technology roadmap, and being accountable for outcomes. Think of it as having a CTO on your team, not a vendor.
What does a typical week look like?
Weekly leadership meeting, architecture reviews, 1:1s with engineering leads, strategic planning, vendor evaluations, and being available on Slack for real-time decisions. The exact cadence is tailored to your needs.
Can you help with AI specifically?
Absolutely — AI strategy is a core strength. We've built production AI systems (Trainix.AI), worked with Claude/GPT APIs, RAG architectures, and AI agents. We can lead your AI transformation from assessment to deployment.
How quickly can you start?
Within 1-2 weeks of signing. We start with a 2-week deep dive into your technology landscape, then transition into ongoing strategic leadership.
