What Is A Fractional CTO?

The Fractional CTO / Part-Time CTO provides strategic guidance and technical expertise to companies that require help on a flexible or as-needed basis. Fractional CTOs typically work with small to medium-sized businesses or startups that may not have the resources or need for a full-time chief technology officer, but nevertheless, require the guidance and expertise of a technology leader.

A Fractional CTO can provide a range of bespoke services, including technology strategy development, project management, vendor selection, technology roadmap creation, team building, and actual hands-on software engineering. A Fractional CTO can also help companies evaluate and implement new technologies, and ensure that technology initiatives are aligned with the company’s overall business objectives.

Part-Time CTOs are often experienced technology executives who have a robust understanding of the latest technology trends and best practices, as well as a strong business acumen. A Part-Time CTO can help business leaders navigate complex technology challenges and make informed decisions about technology investments and priorities. By working with a Fractional CTO, your business can benefit from the expertise of a seasoned technology leader without committing to a full-time hire.

Fractional CTO Services

My focus is hands-on software development so as a technology leader, my background should appeal heavily to businesses of all sizes, and especially to startup companies and established medium-sized businesses who may require technology leadership but not have the demand to keep an expert on staff as a full-time employee.

Additionally in some situations, the CTO may benefit from retaining the services of an additional technology expert to work alongside them, and that’s where I can also be of assistance.

For businesses that need a Part-Time or Fractional CTO for work that is weighted heavily on turning ideas into actual functioning software then we should definitely be talking.
