Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership for companies that need the judgment, not yet the full-time hire.
What this engagement is for
A seasoned technology leader, a few days a month: setting technical direction, reviewing vendors and architecture, hiring and mentoring engineers, and representing technology to your board and investors, until you are ready for a full-time CTO.
