Work with me
Fractional CTO for Series A startups who need to move fast and get it right.
You need senior technical leadership but hiring a full-time CTO is expensive, slow, and risky. You might not even need one permanently – you need the right decisions made now.
How I can help
Two ways to work together:
Embedded support
One to two days per week. I join your team, attend the meetings that matter, and help you make better technical and hiring decisions. Ongoing until you don't need me.
Transformation project
A focused 3-month engagement. We identify what's broken, fix it, and either hire your permanent CTO or build systems that don't require one. Clear scope, clear exit.
What to expect
- ✓Someone who's done this before:
- –Scaled multiple businesses
- –Raised multiple rounds
- –Hired hundreds of staff
- –Exited multiple businesses
- ✓Direct feedback on what's working and what isn't
- ✓Hands-on help with architecture, hiring, and team structure
- ✓A clear exit plan – not an open-ended engagement
"We brought Alex in as fractional CTO to extend our technical leadership as Naitiv scaled. He slotted straight into the team, brought rigour to our architecture and delivery, and freed us up to focus on clients and strategy. If you need senior technical leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire, Alex is your guy."
Andrew Black
CEO, Naitiv
Not for everyone
This works best with founders who are ready to move at speed, thrive on clear and direct feedback, and show a strong bias to action.
If you're looking for someone to validate decisions you've already made—or to move cautiously instead of authoritatively—I'm not your person.
