Every engagement is led by me, personally, for growth-stage companies. Most clients start with a Diagnostic and grow into ongoing leadership from there — but you can enter at whatever level fits.
Start here
A fast, fixed-scope read on where you actually stand. I assess your technology, team, architecture, and roadmap, then hand you a written plan with clear, prioritized recommendations. It's the low-risk front door — and the natural on-ramp to ongoing leadership.
Best for: Founders and operators who need clarity before committing to anything larger — or a second opinion on a decision, a hire, or a stalled roadmap.
You get: A structured assessment and an actionable plan you own, whether or not we work together further.
Format: Fixed fee, fixed scope, fast to start.
Ongoing, part-time
Ongoing, senior technology leadership on a part-time basis. I set technical direction, own the architecture and delivery, lead and level up your team, and keep the infrastructure and security sound — at a fraction of a full-time hire.
Best for: Funded startups and scale-ups that need a CTO's judgment before they can justify a CTO's salary.
You get: One accountable executive, engaged monthly, focused on outcomes.
Near-full-time
Near-full-time leadership through a transition or critical build. When you're between CTOs, integrating an acquisition, or pushing through a make-or-break delivery, I step in and run it.
Best for: PE/VC portfolio companies and teams facing a gap or a high-stakes stretch.
You get: A defined-term commitment with a clear mandate and hand-off plan.
Judgment on call
Judgment when you need it, not hours. Board-level and founder-level counsel on strategy, architecture, hiring, build-vs-buy, and AI — a trusted technical voice on call.
Best for: Leaders who have a team but need senior perspective at key moments.
