Services

Ideal for:

Companies experiencing rapid growth or major transformation, in need of executive-level technology leadership to steer both strategic and operational aspects of scaling. The focus will depend on the type of organization:

Fractional CTO / CIO 

• • For companies needing an experienced technology leader to join their executive team.

  • Your company will likely be a growing tech startup OR an established non-tech focussed company, and you cannot afford or justify employing a full-time experienced CTO.

Co-CTO / CIO (or Chief-of-Staff for the CTO / CIO) 

• For companies that require additional technology leadership during times of transition or growth.

• A typical transition that requires extra support is when a company is looking to scale beyond a successful startup, which can happen when revenue moves beyond $5-10 million and / or the tech team increase in size beyond 10-15.

Example use-cases

• C-suite Collaboration: Work closely with the CEO, COO, and other C-suite executives to ensure technology initiatives support overall business objectives.

• Process Transformation: Design and implement scalable, lightweight processes to help the engineering teams navigate the challenges of growth.

• Tech Leadership Development: Ongoing leadership development for internal tech leaders, helping them transition from tactical to strategic roles.

• Tech Roadmap Development: Craft and manage a roadmap to scale tech and align it with business growth.

• Architectural Design: Build strategy and process to scale the technology for your next stage of growth.

• Security Review and Governance: Mature the security approach and prepare for compliance audits.

• Technology Innovation: Grow a culture and strategy for investigating and implementing new technologies.
