Independent Technology Leadership

Make the right technology call, then see it through.

We help CEOs in gaming, iGaming, payments and fintech find what’s wrong, decide what to build, buy, fix or stop, and lead the execution.

We only sell senior judgment.

Technology becomes urgent before anyone asks for a fractional CTO.

  • Your CTO left, or you can’t hire one.
  • Releases slip and costs grow. Nobody can explain why.
  • You can’t tell if your team or vendor performs.
  • A platform, architecture or AI decision is due.

Start with a Technical Discovery.

One to two weeks on one problem. We agree the scope and the result in writing before we start. You get clear answers to four questions:

  1. 1What’s actually wrong?
  2. 2What creates business risk?
  3. 3What should you build, buy, fix or stop?
  4. 4What happens in the next 30 days?

The answer may be “hire a permanent CTO”. The plan is yours either way.

Technical Discovery

We earn nothing from what we recommend.

That includes developers, software and vendors.

Sometimes the right call is to keep your team, vendor or architecture, and we will tell you so.

How we work

  1. 1

    Problem

    You tell us what’s happening.

  2. 2

    Diagnose

    We find what’s actually wrong.

  3. 3

    Decide

    Together we choose: build, buy, fix or stop.

  4. 4

    Lead

    We lead execution with your team.

  5. 5

    Hand over

    To your team or a permanent hire.

We match the leader to your problem.

For each mandate we assign a senior technology leader whose experience fits the situation. You meet them on a joint call with our founder, before anything is signed.

How we select leaders
One of our leads cut a gaming company’s live-ops launch from 2+ months to 2 days.

When the plan needs ongoing leadership

A fractional CTO can stay to lead execution with your team and vendors, then hand over to your permanent organisation.

Fractional CTO

One firm answers for every engagement.

We define the problem, pick the leader, check quality, handle escalations, record every decision and plan the handover.
