Fractional CTO Services

Small businesses typically can’t afford a full-time Chief Technology Officer, and most don’t need one. What they do need is someone experienced to guide technology decisions. A fractional CTO gives you that leadership for a fraction of the cost, and only when you need it.

I bring more than twenty years as a senior web developer and software architect, plus a decade leading technical programs, projects, and products, most recently as a Director of Program Management.

What it can include

  • An IT strategy and roadmap tied to your business goals
  • Technology budgeting and spending reviews
  • Evaluating software, vendors, and proposals, including a second opinion on quotes
  • Reviewing your security and backup posture
  • Managing outside IT providers, developers, or agencies on your behalf
  • Planning and overseeing technology projects
  • Explaining technical issues to owners and leadership in plain language

A good fit if

  • You’re an owner-operated business growing past “someone’s nephew handles it”
  • You work with outside developers or IT vendors and want better oversight
  • You’re planning a big change: a new system, a move, a website or application
  • You aren’t sure whether your technology spending is working

What to expect

We’ll start with a conversation about your goals and current setup. I have different packages available to meet the level of engagement you need.

You get my expertise and advice for a fraction of the cost of a full-time CTO.
