Hire a Fractional CTO

I am an experienced Product & Engineering Leader available as a Fractional CTO.

I help companies launch products with clear product strategy and smart technology. I advise on product, experience and technical decisions, and jump in as a high-performing software engineer as needed.

I help teams deliver software fast that customers want. I do so by clarifying customer needs and making smart tradeoff decisions. I help product launch by supporting marketing, customer success, and sales to boost revenue and retention.

I help executives clarify strategy by aligning and articulating a product and technical strategy to align the team or raise the next round. In all cases, I measure my own success by my ability to help team members succeed and increase product revenue.

I have more than 25 years of experience in Software Engineering Leadership & Product Management. You can read more about my Experience & Skills. You can read a more about me as an individual in About Me.
