FRACTIONAL CTO

A CTO without the full-time commitment.

+
Strategic Leadership

Senior technical leadership - strategy, decisions, oversight. Not 5 days a week. Just when it matters.

Based in Paris · Available across France and remote

Sound familiar?

You run a business, not a tech company. But somehow, tech problems keep landing on your desk. Server issues. Software decisions. Vendor calls where everyone promises the moon and you can't tell who's lying. Your last 'tech person who knew everything' left, and now nobody knows where the keys are.

Meanwhile, everyone's talking about AI, automation, digital transformation. You know there's opportunity there but you don't know what you actually need, what's hype, or where to start. You're not behind. You just don't have someone to figure it out for you.

Maybe you already have developers or tech people on board. They're good at what they do but they need direction. Someone to set priorities, make architecture decisions, unblock them when they're stuck. You need a leader, not more hands.

You don't need to become a tech company. But you deserve the same tech advantages as one. You need someone who gets it who can make the decisions, manage the vendors, and bring in the right tools. Without the full-time commitment. Without the €150k salary. Just the brain when you need it.

What level of involvement?

1 day2345+ days

Bi-weekly check-ins. Sprint reviews. Vendor oversight. Architecture guidance.

Most clients start at 2 days. We adjust as we go.

What a Fractional CTO actually does

They said:

I need someone in my leadership meetings

I delivered:

Strategic oversight. I understand your numbers and translate business into tech.

They said:

My dev team is blocked

I delivered:

Team guidance. I unblock them, review architecture, set standards.

They said:

I'm getting ripped off by vendors

I delivered:

Vendor management. I keep suppliers honest. No more overpaying.

They said:

Something broke and I don't know what to do

I delivered:

On-call decisions. A choice needs to be made? I'm a call away.

They said:

Only one person knows how things work

I delivered:

Documentation & clarity. Everything gets documented. No black boxes.

They said:

We'll eventually need a full-time CTO

I delivered:

Exit-ready. When you're ready, I help you hire and hand over clean.

Feel free to drop your own question, they'll probably fit here.

How We Work Together

Most clients start with the audit. Then we decide together what makes sense.

2 weeks

Understanding comes before guidance.

I spend a few days inside your operation. I meet your team, review your systems, understand your pain points. You get a clear picture of what's working, what's broken, and what needs attention first. This becomes our roadmap for the retainer.

From €5,000/month

Flexible

I become part of your rhythm.

We agree on the cadence - 2 days a month, 4 days, whatever fits. I join your meetings, unblock your team, manage your vendors, make the technical decisions you don't have time for. You get a CTO without the full-time commitment.

Scale or Hand Off

Evolves with you

Your needs evolve. So does my offer.

Need more hours? We flex. Ready for a full-time CTO? I help you hire and hand over clean. The goal is never dependency - it's making sure you're covered. I stay as long as you need. Not longer.
