CTO
Executive Coaching & Mentoring

CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and other technical leaders at startups and growing tech companies have a uniquely challenging role. Their responsibilities change constantly, and they have to respond and grow quickly to keep up. Their domain is very different from that of their executive peers, and hard to explain. This often leads to misunderstanding and miscommunication, which can be very isolating. It's no surprise that the tenure of the average CTO is much shorter than other executives. Losing your CTO is disruptive and risky, but you can avoid it with the right coach / mentor. 

Fractional & Interim CTO

You might already have some of the product- and engineering talent you need on your team, but in a growing company there’s often a gap.

As fractional CTO, I fill in the gaps in experience for your current team, giving you the strategic support you need, and lending my foresight based on deep experience to your existing technical / product leaders.

As interim CTO, I perform all responsibilities of a CTO, while we find your forever CTO together.
