Fractional CTO

Overview & who it's for

Fractional CTO is an enterprise-style, tailored engagement: embedded CTO leadership for organisations that need deeper involvement than advisory, such as transformation programmes, execution governance, board- and investor-facing technical leadership, or high-stakes technical work.

Unlike the Advisor subscriptions, Fractional CTO takes ownership where scoped: of technical strategy, of architecture direction, of engineering governance, and of hands-on execution when explicitly agreed.

This service is available to professional and business customers only.

Typical scope

• Technical strategy and architecture ownership
• Engineering governance and delivery governance
• Team and leadership structure
• Hiring and senior interviews
• CEO, board and investor-facing technical leadership
• Transformation programmes
• Technical due diligence, investor DD and M&A support
• High-stakes technical arbitration
• Crisis and turnaround support
• Hands-on execution when explicitly scoped

Engagement design

Every Fractional CTO engagement is scoped individually after a consultation: objectives, cadence, reserved capacity, governance model and duration are tailored to your context. There is no self-service checkout and no standard package, deliberately.

• Scope, cadence and capacity defined per engagement
• Commercial and contractual terms are set by the engagement agreement, not by the online Terms of Service
• Cancellation and renewal per the scoped agreement

Commercial model

From €6,000 per month, excluding applicable taxes. The final commercial model is defined by the scoped engagement.

Professional and business customers only.
