I enable startups and growing SMEs to deliver products quicker and smarter.
The role of Chief Technology Officer is to create and execute a technology strategy that serves your business strategy.
Many SMEs don't require, or can't afford a full-time CTO, so do not implement the role and lack the critical input that a CTO provides.
The key benefit of adopting a Fractional CTO is that you will gain the same technology expertise and capability of a full time CTO without the costs associated with a C-level executive.
There are a number of scenarios where a Fractional CTO will provide significant benefit:
I am a transformational leader, with significant experience implementing technology into small, medium, and large organisations over 15 years.
You could say my journey in technology started over 25 years ago when, as just a high school boy, I purchased the components to build my own desktop PC. It was barely a few months until I'd learnt HTML/CSS and launched my first website. Perl and PHP came shortly after.
Through a career in SMEs, I discovered a thirst for learning across technology, business, and customer domains. Wearing multiple hats has been comfortable for me and enabled me to understand many perspectives. Whilst I maintain a love of coding, I'm driven by your vision for solving real problems for real people.
Being recognised as a positive and approachable person that people want to work with is of equal importance to me as being recognised as a technical expert. I will build meaningful relationships with your team, and create positive learning experiences out of negative situations. Maintaining a positive mindset, and coaching others to focus on the positives out of any situation is one of my core values.
My breadth of technical knowledge and experience is vast, backed by my professional achievements and Chartered IT Professional (CITP) credential. However, you should consider my differentiator to be my ability to quickly understand and align to your goals, and maintain focus on delivering on these outcomes. If we align on values and vision, you'll get full dedication and commitment, no less than any salaried or equity holding employee. If we don't align then I'd be upfront and offer recommendations for alternative services.
