73% of SMBs say keeping up with technology is a top-3 concern. Only 12% have anyone in charge of it.
AI isn't coming — it's here. The question isn't whether to use it, but whether you're using it before your competitors lock in the advantage. A quarterly AI readiness assessment keeps you ahead, not behind.
Subscription creep is invisible until someone audits it. Most businesses are paying for overlapping tools, unused licenses, and contracts they forgot to cancel. A single vendor audit pays for itself in the first month.
Without a technical leader, every outage is a fire drill. Every vendor call is a guessing game. Every "quick fix" adds technical debt that compounds. You need someone who's seen it before.
You're evaluating developers, contractors, and vendors without a technical leader in the room. One wrong hire or vendor contract can set you back months and tens of thousands of dollars.
Every engagement starts with understanding your business. No pitch decks, no pressure.
We talk about your business, your technology challenges, and whether a fractional CTO makes sense for where you are right now. No cost, no commitment.
In two weeks, you'll know exactly where your technology is helping you and where it's costing you. Every finding comes with a dollar value attached.
If the assessment proves value, we build a retained partnership tailored to your growth stage. Advisory, hands-on, or fully embedded — your call.
Three levels of partnership, each defined by the outcome it delivers — not hours on a timesheet.
At Growth and Scale, competitor exclusivity is contractual. Your direct competitors are locked out for the duration of our partnership. That's not a policy — it's in the agreement.
Ask Me About ExclusivityRedundant vendor spend identified during a two-week Tech Check. Ten overlapping subscriptions, three unused licenses, one contract that auto-renewed for a tool they'd stopped using two years ago.
Client was about to spend $85K on a platform rebuild they didn't need. Assessment showed the real bottleneck was a $12K integration fix. Same outcome, $73K saved.
Evaluated a senior developer candidate the client was about to hire. Technical interview revealed critical skill gaps that would have cost months of rework and an eventual termination.
A technology roadmap that takes a traditional consultant two weeks, delivered in 48 hours. AI-native tooling compresses the work — you get the same depth in a fraction of the time.
A 15-minute call where we talk about your business, your technology challenges, and whether a fractional CTO makes sense for where you are. No pitch, no pressure. If there's a fit, I'll recommend a Tech Assessment as the next step.
If your business runs on technology and you're making decisions about tools, vendors, or hires without a technical leader — you're not too small. You're exactly who this is for. Most of my clients are between $800K and $10M in revenue.
A consultant gives advice and leaves. I'm embedded in your business as your CTO — accountable for outcomes, not deliverables. I'm in your strategy meetings, evaluating your hires, reviewing your vendors, and making sure technology is driving growth, not just keeping the lights on.
At Growth and Scale tiers, I contractually commit to not working with your direct competitors while we're partners. You name the competitors, they go in our agreement, and they're off-limits. Your CTO shouldn't be your competitor's CTO too.
I don't do standalone project work. Here's why: a one-off project without ongoing context is how businesses end up with solutions that don't fit. Every project I touch is inside a retained relationship, so I understand your business deeply enough to build the right thing.
The real question is: what's it costing you right now to not have one?
