Why a Fractional CTO

Senior technology leadership, sized for an SME budget

Most growing businesses can't justify a full-time CTO salary — but every cloud, AI and architecture decision still needs one. Get the same judgment on a fractional basis, only when you need it.

🎯

Make the Right Choice

Evaluate platforms, vendors and approaches against your actual business goals — not sales pitches or hype.

🛡️

Reduce Technology Risk

Catch architecture, scalability, security and technical-debt risks while they're still cheap to fix.

📈

Get a Practical Roadmap

Leave with prioritized actions and clear next steps — not a 60-page report that sits in a drawer.

No CTO on your team yet?

A 20-minute conversation is usually enough to tell you whether you need ongoing fractional support or a one-off review. No obligation, no sales pressure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens on the free 20-minute call?▼

We talk through your current challenge, I ask a few clarifying questions, and you leave knowing whether it's worth pursuing further — and what the next step would look like.

Do you only advise, or do you also build?▼

Both. Advisory sessions focus on decisions and direction; if it makes sense, I can also lead delivery on .NET, cloud migration or AI/ML implementation.

What does "Fractional CTO" actually mean?▼

You get ongoing access to senior technical judgment — architecture calls, cloud and AI decisions, vendor evaluation — for a fraction of a full-time CTO's cost, on a schedule that fits your business.

Is this only for large enterprises?▼

No — this is built for growing SMEs that need senior technology guidance but aren't ready for a full-time CTO hire, as well as larger organizations needing a structured technology assessment.

How is pricing structured?▼

Scope, duration and fee are tailored after the initial call, based on whether you need a single session, a full assessment, or an ongoing fractional CTO retainer.
