Fractional CTO
Technology leadership for architecture, teams and roadmaps.
When technical decisions set the pace of growth, you need someone who can hold architecture, team and business model together. A fractional CTO brings that experience to companies that need technical direction, but not yet, or no longer, a full-time CTO.
Typical mandates: making architecture decisions that hold, bringing structure into engineering, technical due diligence and translating between business and development.
When it makes sense
- Product decisions are being made without anyone senior assessing the technical consequences.
- The development team is growing and needs structure, processes and technical leadership.
- An agency or external team builds your product, and nobody on your side can steer them.
- Technical debt is slowing every release, and nobody owns the trade-offs.
Typical problems solved
- Architecture and build-or-buy decisions
- Engineering organisation: team growth, structure, delivery
- Technical due diligence for investors or acquisitions
- Steering vendors and agencies
- Security, scalability and technical-debt strategy
What a mandate looks like
Fractional CTO mandates range from an advisory cadence to active technical leadership, often one to two days per week, remote or hybrid, with clearly defined ownership.
