Fractional CTO (CTO-as-a-Service, Interim CTO, Shadow CTO)
Hands-on technology leadership whether you need a Fractional, Interim, or Shadow CTO to guide your product and engineering direction.
How It’s Done
I provide CTO-as-a-Service for organizations that need experienced technology leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Acting as a Fractional CTO, I define and execute technology strategy, align it with product and business objectives, and build scalable engineering foundations. For transitions or critical phases, I can serve as an Interim CTO to stabilize teams and clarify direction until a permanent leader is in place. When there’s already a CTO, I act as a discreet Shadow CTO, providing behind-the-scenes support and guidance on complex decisions.
Who Might Benefit
Startups seeking their first technology leader, scaleups preparing to expand rapidly, and boards or investors aiming to de-risk growth. It’s also valuable for solo founders bridging a leadership gap during a search for a permanent CTO.
