Hire a Fractional CTO
Hiring a fractional CTO can be the right solution in many situations.
A fractional CTO is a part-time executive who provides high-quality technology leadership without the cost and obligations of a full-time CTO.
A fractional CTO can be hired for specific projects and tracks, giving companies access to expertise on a flexible basis.
- Cost savings: Costs are only incurred for the specific services needed in the company's current phase. With a fractional CTO's extensive experience, the required time is often limited to 1-3 days per week.
- Flexibility: A fractional CTO works based on specific needs for specific periods. Engagement can start quickly and scale down just as flexibly.
- Experience and expertise: A fractional CTO has years of experience across a broad range of companies by definition.
- Quick start: A fractional CTO needs little onboarding time before getting started.
Although both provide expertise, a fractional CTO is more involved in the company.
The fractional CTO role focuses on strategic planning, leadership and long-term vision,
while consultants usually focus on specific problems or shorter-term projects.
A fractional CTO is responsible for certain deliverables and works closely with the team,
unlike consultants who usually advise from the sidelines.
A fractional CTO usually works for several companies at once, with each company buying part of the CTO's time.
A part-time CTO is usually connected to a single company but works fewer hours than a full-time CTO.
A fractional CTO is especially useful in the following situations:
- Guiding mergers and acquisitions.
- Preparing for a possible sale.
- Professionalising development practices and ways of working.
-
Properly documenting the platform in preparation for due diligence.
