What exactly is a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CTO is a senior technology executive who works with your company on a part-time or engagement basis. Instead of hiring a full-time CTO, you get experienced technical leadership when you need it, without the long-term overhead.
When should a company bring in a Fractional CTO?
Most companies call me when something has gone wrong: a vendor has failed, a project is stalled, systems are unstable, or compliance risks are rising. Others bring me in when they’re growing quickly and need senior technical leadership before hiring a full-time CTO.
Do you write code yourself?
Sometimes, especially early in a rescue. But my primary role is to assess, plan, and lead. I typically bring in or manage the right developers, vendors, or internal team members to execute the work.
Do you replace our existing team?
Not by default. In many cases, the existing team is part of the solution. If changes are needed, I help restructure the team or bring in the right resources.
What if we already have an IT manager or development lead?
That’s common. I work alongside internal staff, giving them clearer direction, priorities, and support. Often, they’ve simply been put in a situation that exceeds their role or authority.
How long does a typical engagement last?
Most engagements run between 6 and 4 years. Some are short-term rescues, while others transition into ongoing fractional leadership. I have multiple 5+ clients.
Do you bring your own development teams?
If needed, yes. I have trusted contractors and development partners I can bring in. I can also work with your existing vendors or help you hire the right people.
What happens after the systems are stabilized?
Once the immediate risks are under control, we either: Transition to a lighter fractional advisory role, or Help you hire and onboard a full-time technical leader The goal is to leave you with a stable, sustainable operating model.
How is a Fractional CTO different from a consultant?
Most consultants provide recommendations and leave execution to you. As a Fractional CTO, I take ownership of the outcome. I help make decisions, manage teams, and drive the work to completion.
Will you work with our board or investors?
Yes. I often communicate directly with boards, investors, and executive teams to explain technical risks, timelines, and decisions in clear business terms.
How do we get started?
We begin with a short call to understand your situation. If it’s a fit, the first step is usually a rapid technical assessment to identify risks, priorities, and next actions.
