Technology leadership, without the year it takes to hire it.
We step in as embedded technology leadership, part-time, for as long as the organization needs it and not a day longer.
Fractional CTO is embedded technology leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis: someone accountable for technology decisions, running planning, guiding the team, and owning vendor and hiring calls, without the cost or timeline of a full-time search.
This is probably the right starting point if:
Technology decisions are being made without anyone accountable for the outcome.
The team is growing, and there’s no technology leader guiding where it goes.
A CTO search could take a year, and the decisions in front of the business can’t wait that long.
Full-time technology leadership isn’t the right fit yet, financially or organizationally.
Embedded leadership, not outside opinion.
What this doesn’t include
A single outside opinion on a specific decision, or writing the code directly. The former is an advisory relationship rather than an operating one; the latter is Software Engineering.
What this includes
Ongoing, embedded technology leadership: planning, team leadership, and vendor and hiring decisions, accountable day to day.
Fractional CTO is one of four ways into Strategy & Advisory.
