Fractional CTO Leadership
I plug in as the senior technical voice in the room — the one founders, investors, and engineers all defer to on direction. 1–2 days a week, accountable for outcomes, not hours.
What this looks like
Technical direction & ownership
- Set architectural direction and 6–12 month technical roadmap
- Own build-vs-buy calls and platform-level trade-offs
- Unblock engineering on the hard calls so the team doesn't stall
Board, investor, and founder partnership
- Technical counterparty on investor and board calls
- Quarterly board updates tied to engineering outcomes
- Honest read on the team, the stack, and the runway implications
Team leadership
- Weekly 1:1s with engineering leads
- Calibrate hiring bar, performance, and comp bands
- Run incident response and post-mortems when they matter
What you walk away with
- 12-month technical roadmap with tied milestones
- Quarterly board pack (technical section)
- Architecture decision records (ADRs) for the load-bearing calls
How we engage
Ongoing retainer, 1–2 days per week. 2-week assessment, then 30-day rolling notice.
