Fractional CTO Engagements

A Fractional CTO gives a business senior technical leadership on a part-time or flexible basis. We’re leaders working alongside you, the senior leadership team, and the engineers to deliver outcomes that will keep your business moving forwards in the right direction.

You might need a Fractional CTO if:

• You need technical expertise now but you don’t have the financial means or requirements for a full-time CTO.
• You're a non-technical founder who needs senior technical strategy, delivery and execution (decision-making, what to build, when, why, what business and customer problems you’re solving, roadmaps).
• Your engineering team is or will be growing and you need help with hiring, onboarding, team structure and developing leaders who will scale as you grow.
• You need robust engineering systems that manage delivery of work, risk and compliance, and overall operations.

You were great at writing code. Then someone decided your reward for being good at your job was to do less of it.

This talk covers the specific moments in the engineer-to-leader transition where most people really struggle - the identity crisis, context switching and new responsibilities you have to figure out.

I'll share what's actually happening, why your instinct to retreat to your IDE will make it worse, and what to do instead.
