Our founder automated his own job twice.
A senior technology leader (CTO, CIO or head of AI) for a set number of days each month. Direction, standards and honest advice, without another full-time hire.
One leader. Three jobs, as you need them.
Technology leadership (CTO)
We set the plan and standards, help you decide what to build, buy or keep, review the work and back your team.
Read moreOperations and security (CIO)
We keep your systems, vendors, access and security in order, with a clear account of everything underway.
Read moreAI leadership (head of AI)
We help you decide where AI helps and where it must stay out, write the rules and check the work.
Read moreWhat you get
- A named principal engineer, not a rotating cast
- A fixed number of days each month, agreed in writing
- Advice that stays honest, even when it says "hire in-house" or "buy it off the shelf"
- One view of everything underway, for your managers
Add engineering when you are ready
Fractional leadership stands on its own. When your roadmap calls for hands, AI-assisted engineering is one step away, priced separately, and you can decline it.
Questions we hear
Are you a replacement for our CTO?
No. We work beside your team and answer to you. Where you have a CTO, we support them. Where you have none, we fill the seat part time.
Will you try to sell us engineering?
Advice and engineering are separate. The advice is honest whatever it says, and you can take it to anyone.
