Get your technology led right — without a full-time CTO.
Fractional and interim CTO leadership for growth-stage companies. Three decades scaling engineering organizations — from two engineers to more than 250, through multiple acquisitions — with unusual depth where the stakes are highest: regulated data, legacy and physical-world integration, and AI transitions you can't afford to get wrong.
Work I've delivered for leading organizations — in roles at Levels Beyond, Videology, Advertising.com, and through LCG and HotRMC engagements.
Who I work with
I partner with a small number of growth-stage companies at a time:
- Funded startups and scale-ups that need a CTO's judgment before they can justify a CTO's salary.
- PE and VC portfolio companies needing steady technical leadership through a transition, turnaround, or build.
- Established small-to-mid companies modernizing — especially in regulated industries (insurance, healthcare, government) and integration-heavy and industrial operations, where I've spent most of my career.
How I can help
Four ways to work together, starting with a low-risk, fixed-scope diagnostic that leads into ongoing leadership.
Technology Diagnostic
A fast, fixed-fee assessment of your technology, team, and roadmap, with a written plan you can act on immediately. The best place to start.
Fractional CTO
Ongoing, part-time technical leadership on a monthly basis.
Interim CTO
Near-full-time leadership through a defined transition or critical build.
Advisory
Board-level and founder-level counsel when you need judgment, not hours.
By the numbers

Transactions at scale, migrated to the cloud as an early adopter
SOC 2 Type II
Delivered across multiple SaaS platforms in regulated financial services
Why me
- One accountable executive. You get a single senior person who owns the outcome end to end — strategy, architecture, delivery, and the infrastructure and security underneath.
- A builder who's actually scaled. I've grown engineering organizations from two people to 250+, through multiple acquisitions, and led early cloud migrations at multi-billion-transaction scale — deploying to AWS when the only path to production was a command line.
- Depth where the stakes are highest. SOC 2, insurance, healthcare, and government; plus a career that started on the factory floor with industrial controls, so I understand systems that have to work in the physical world.
- Still hands-on with today's tools. I build with current AI models and agentic tools every day, so the modernization and AI calls I help you make come from someone doing the work — not narrating it from the outside.
