Get the strategic direction of a seasoned CTO embedded in your business. Architecture decisions, technology roadmaps and team oversight — on terms that work for you.
Making IT decisions reactively, without a coherent roadmap, leads to wasted spend, technical debt and missed opportunities.
A senior technology executive commands £150k+ per year. For most growing businesses, that's not the right use of budget at this stage.
When the board doesn't understand the technology decisions being made, investment gets delayed and IT stays a cost centre instead of a driver of value.
Strategic technology leadership across four key areas.
Architecture reviews, build vs buy decisions and a prioritised technology roadmap aligned to your business objectives.
Hiring standards, technical interview support, team mentoring and vendor assessment — so you get the right people and the right partners.

We learn about your business, your current technology landscape and where the most pressing challenges and opportunities lie.

Start with a few days a month and scale up as your business grows.
A Fractional CTO is an experienced technology executive who works with your business on a part-time or flexible basis, providing the same strategic oversight as a full-time CTO but without the full-time cost or commitment. They typically work across multiple businesses simultaneously and focus on high-level strategy, architecture, team leadership and stakeholder communication.
It varies by business need. Most engagements start with 4–8 days per month — enough to attend leadership meetings, review key technology decisions and maintain ongoing strategic direction. We can scale up or down based on what's required.
A consultant typically delivers a specific piece of work and leaves. A Fractional CTO becomes an ongoing member of your leadership team — attending meetings, managing your technology team, building relationships with vendors and taking ownership of the technology agenda. The relationship is continuous, not transactional.
A Fractional CTO is typically the right choice when your business needs strategic technology leadership but isn't at the scale to justify a full-time hire. Once you reach the point where the technology organisation needs daily hands-on leadership, it usually makes sense to transition to a permanent hire — and we can help with that transition.
Pricing depends on engagement structure and hours required. We work on day-rates and monthly retainers — get in touch for a conversation about what would work for your business.
Start with a discovery call. We'll learn about your business, your technology challenges and where a Fractional CTO can make the most difference.
