Advisory / Leadership
Fractional CTO
Quarterly objectives, not rented hours. You buy outcomes a CTO would own — architecture, hiring, vendors, board answers — without the senior payroll.
What you get
- Architecture. Someone accountable for technical direction — written down and defensible in front of a board or an investor.
- Hiring. Role design, interview loops and the judgement calls, so you stop paying senior salaries for junior outcomes.
- Vendor decisions. Contracts, scopes and delivery held to account by someone who has sat on the vendor’s side of the table for 21 years and knows how the margins are made.
- Board reporting. Technology translated into risk, cost and time — the three words boards actually read.
The format
Objectives are set at the start of each quarter and reviewed in writing. The cadence is the point: enough presence to own outcomes, not enough to become the org chart’s most expensive line.
What we don’t sell here
Developer experience programmes and change management as line items. When a fractional CTO engagement runs well, those are its results — you should not be invoiced twice for them.
