Announcing the Launch of the New Fractional CTO Website

After years of leading technology initiatives for organizations around the world, I’m excited to announce the launch of my new Fractional CTO website, a place to share insights, resources, and opportunities for collaboration with the teams and leaders I serve.

This site represents the next step in my journey: helping more organizations access experienced technology leadership, even if they don’t need (or can’t yet justify) a full-time CTO.


Why I Launched This Platform

Over the past two decades, I’ve seen the same pattern across startups, enterprises, and government agencies – strong business vision, passionate teams, and ambitious goals often held back by a lack of clear technical leadership.

That’s where the role of a Fractional CTO comes in. My goal is to provide organizations with executive-level technology direction on a flexible basis – bringing the same level of clarity, structure, and accountability that a full-time CTO would deliver, but tailored to fit their stage of growth.

This site is designed to make that work more accessible, transparent, and collaborative.


What You’ll Find Here

The website includes:

  • Services Overview: A clear look at the types of Fractional CTO engagements available – from ongoing leadership to short-term advisory.

  • Engagement Models: How organizations can work with me in a way that fits their current needs and capacity.

  • Case Studies: Real examples of how structured technology leadership drives measurable outcomes.

  • Insights: Articles, frameworks, and lessons on leadership, innovation, and transformation.

  • Speaking & Media: My latest talks, publications, and upcoming appearances.

Everything is built around one idea – making technology leadership more practical, strategic, and results-driven.


The Mission Going Forward

This website is more than a personal brand or portfolio. It’s a place to share ideas and frameworks that help organizations move faster and think more strategically about technology.

I’ll be publishing new articles in the coming weeks on topics like:

  • How to know when it’s time to bring in a Fractional CTO

  • The difference between technical management and technology leadership

  • Why clarity matters more than code in enterprise transformation

I hope these resources provide value not only to technology teams, but also to CEOs, founders, and executives who are shaping their organization’s future.


Thank You

To everyone who has supported my work through the years, colleagues, partners, and clients, thank you for being part of this journey.

I invite you to explore the site, learn more about how I help organizations lead with technology, and connect if you’d like to discuss how Fractional CTO leadership can help your team move forward.

Here’s to building smarter, faster, and more confident technology organizations.
