Interim CTO Services That Fix Execution and Accelerate Value
When your tech leadership breaks down, I step in and move fast.
As an interim or fractional CTO, I provide decisive technology leadership during moments of disruption, scale, or strategic pressure.
Whether your last CTO walked, the platform is buckling, or you’re integrating post-acquisition, I deliver immediate clarity, executional momentum, and measurable results, without the long ramp-up.

-
Your CTO or VP of Engineering has suddenly exited

A funding round or exit depends on platform readiness
