/fractional-cto

A fractional CTO who owns the decisions, and a team who ships them.

Architecture, hiring, security posture and vendor choices, owned by someone who has done all four at enterprise scale. Marc leads the seat; the engineers who implement it sit on the same retainer.

When companies call

Nobody hires a CTO because they want more technology. They call when the current situation has become expensive to live with.

Delivery has stopped being predictable
Dates move, estimates are guesses, and nobody in the room can say why. Usually an architecture problem wearing a schedule costume.
You are about to spend serious money
A platform migration, a vendor contract, a rebuild. One senior opinion before the commitment is cheaper than the correction after it.
The team has no technical ceiling
Capable developers with nobody above them to set standards, review risk, or say no. A full-time CTO is not yet justified.
What the seat owns

Four things, in writing, from month one.

01
Architecture and build-vs-buy
A documented technical direction, and a defensible answer on what you build, what you buy, and what you retire.
02
Delivery reliability
Estimates you can plan against, a release rhythm, and visibility your board can read without translation.
03
Security and vendor risk
Posture assessed, gaps ranked by what they would actually cost you, and contracts reviewed before they renew.
04
Hiring and the team you keep
Who to hire next, who to develop, and who is holding the team back. Interviews run by someone who can assess the work.
The difference
A marketplace sends one person. We send the seat and the bench behind it.

Hiring specialists one at a time means paying each one's minimum, then finding out the executive cannot implement. Marc's decisions are carried out by the same thirty specialists you are already retaining, at no separate engagement.

“Two prior vendors had given up on it. It was running in production inside six weeks.”
Application repair engagement
Also asked on this page: what a fractional CTO costs, and how the seat differs from a full-time hire.

Start with the assessment, not the contract.
