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

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.
