Working Side by Side
A Fractional CTO is neither a consultant nor an advisor. It’s a hands-on leadership role, part of your team, accountable for technology, just like a co-founder.
My style is clear and straight to the point: honest, direct, and persistent. I’ll tell you what you need to hear, not what sounds good in a slide deck. Every engagement is tailored - no off-the-shelf frameworks.
Often my role is less about adding more, and more about removing what doesn’t serve the business. I firmly believe in simplicity - the best architectures, workflows, and decisions are those that scale without friction.
When needed, I bring in my network of trusted partners in product, growth, or legal. I coordinate closely so everything works as one.
