Fractional CTO & AI Operations
Fractional CTO services for founders who need operations redesigned, not just code written
Most fractional CTOs are engineers who advise. I'm an operations leader who's spent 25 years running transformations at Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and Bank of England — and built my own company as COO and CEO. I take your operations function by function and rewire them around AI. No long hiring cycle. No bloated team. Just a clear path from chaos to a company that runs without you.

Fractional CTO FAQ
What does a Fractional CTO do?
I'm the technical leader who thinks operationally. You get senior leadership that bridges technology and operations — without a full-time hire. I audit your operations, identify where AI creates real leverage, install operating rhythm, and redesign how your company runs. Strategy and hands-on execution — not a slide deck.
What's the difference between a fractional CTO and a fractional COO?
Fractional COOs typically focus on Operations, HR, PM, Finance, and GTM — a broad generalist skillset. I'm the bridge: deep in tech (architecture, AI, systems) but with that same operational breadth. I think like a COO when it comes to how work flows, priorities, and delivery — but I can also get hands dirty in the code when it matters. Most fractional CTOs stay purely technical. I don't.
How fast can we ship?
Most founders go from roadmap to production in 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and integrations.
Do you build AI products?
Yes — but more importantly, I redesign operations around AI. I've built production AI systems (AI/CD pipelines, agentic delivery, RAG, vector databases), but my real value is knowing which parts of your business AI should touch and in what order. Sales ops, client onboarding, reporting, delivery tracking, HR workflows — I've automated all of these in my own company and for clients.
What is the best first step?
Start with Get Clear — a 90-minute diagnostic with a risk report and 90-day roadmap. 100% applies to any retainer within 14 days.
Do you work with existing teams?
Yes. I can lead your team, collaborate with agencies, or build solo depending on what you need.
Are you an engineer or an operations person?
Both — and that's the point. I've written production code and I've run operations for global banks. Most fractional CTOs are engineers who can advise on operations. I'm an operations leader who happens to be deeply technical. That means I don't just recommend AI tools — I know how to wire them into your actual workflows and make them stick.
