CTO as a Service

Strategic technology leadership for your business without the full-time commitment or cost

CTO as a Service

Get the strategic technology leadership your business needs without the expense and commitment of hiring a full-time CTO. As your fractional CTO, I provide the same level of technical leadership, strategic planning, and execution oversight that a full-time executive would deliver, but on a flexible, part-time basis that aligns with your budget and needs.

With over 20 years of experience building and leading engineering teams, architecting scalable systems, and driving digital transformation initiatives, I bring senior-level expertise to help your organization make critical technology decisions, build high-performing teams, and execute on your technical vision. Whether you're a startup scaling rapidly, an established company undergoing digital transformation, or a growing business that needs technical leadership but can't justify a full-time CTO salary, I provide the guidance and oversight you need to succeed.

My CTO as a Service engagement is hands-on and collaborative, working directly with your team, stakeholders, and leadership to ensure technology initiatives align with business objectives, deliver measurable results, and position your company for long-term success.
