Embedded CTO

Your CTO in the building. We run the function: cadence, hiring, vendors, AI in the developer workflow, operations automation, security auditing, SR&ED tax planning, and server and cloud cost as we go.

Run the org

Everything in Advisory, plus standups, sprint rhythm, and code review we actually enforce. We force AI into the developer workflow and translate those learnings so the team keeps getting faster.

Staff and vendors

Hiring (JDs, screening, interviews) fed by a 1,500-person consultant and executive network. Vendor oversight so nobody bills you for work we have not verified.

Operate

AI automation for the operation: we build it into sales, ops, finance, and HR ourselves, documented and measured, until the company runs lean. We keep server and cloud cost down as we go. Board-ready reporting included.

Who This Is For

✓ Companies that need a CTO who runs the function, not one who only advises from the side.
✓ Teams that want AI forced into the developer workflow, with the learnings translated back to the company not a slide deck of tools to try.
✓ Founders who want security auditing and SR&ED tax planning inside the retainer, not two extra consultants.

Expected Outcomes

→ A working engineering cadence, hiring pipeline, and vendor control you can show a board with AI forced into the developer workflow and the learnings transferred to the team.
→ AI automation for the operation, built into sales, ops, finance, and HR, not handed over as a playbook.
→ Security auditing included. SR&ED tax planning and claim documentation produced as the work happens.
→ Server and cloud cost kept down: rightsizing, idle environments, and architecture that does not balloon the bill while we run the function.

Why We're Different

→ Two company exits. Most fractional CTOs have never sat in the seat through an acquisition. We have twice.
→ 400 projects of domain expertise. We can tell you what works and what does not, because we have already seen the version of your problem that failed.
→ Global experience across industries and markets. The playbook is not a local agency's default stack.
→ We keep server and cloud cost down as we run the function. Rightsizing, idle environments, and architecture that does not balloon the AWS bill. Most fractional CTOs never open the invoice.
