Fractional CTO.
Give engineering a clear direction.
You’re a founder or CEO with a growing product business. Engineering decisions keep coming back to you, but you don’t yet need a full-time CTO. You need someone who can connect the business priorities to what the team does next.
Let’s give the team a direction it can act on.
I’ve led engineering through startup growth and larger organisational change, with responsibility for people, budgets and delivery. I can work alongside you and your team to set priorities, make technical trade-offs and help your leaders take ownership. We’ll agree the responsibilities and time commitment around what your business needs.
