CPTO

Fractional CPTO

Executive-level technology leadership embedded in your company. Scoped to what you need. Accountable for outcomes.

What you get

A fractional CPTO is not a consultant who reviews your code occasionally. We are embedded technical leadership.

Technology strategy & board reporting

Own the technology roadmap. Present to the board. Align engineering investment with business objectives.

Engineering team leadership

Hire, manage, and develop your engineering team. Set standards, run performance reviews, build the culture.

Architecture decisions

Make the hard build vs. buy calls. Evaluate vendors. Set the technical direction that will be right in three years, not just today.

Vendor & agency oversight

If you're using outside contractors, we make sure they're accountable to real outcomes — not just deliverables that look right on a demo.

Risk & security posture

Identify technical risk before it becomes a crisis. Set security standards appropriate to your industry and regulatory context.

Hiring & team scaling

Build the engineering org the right way — roles defined, leveling consistent, interview process that finds builders.

Is this right for you?

Fractional CPTO engagements work best for companies that have a product or operations team but no dedicated senior technical leadership — and need that gap filled without the timeline or cost of a full-time executive hire.
