Fractional & Parachute CTO

Your embedded fractional Chief Technology Officer, supporting your business or portfolio towards success.

Technology strategy, leadership, and delivery on flexible terms.

A fractional CTO (Chief Technology Officer), makes executive-level experience in technology, strategy and team building accessible to businesses from an earlier stage and on flexible terms.

How it works

Your Embeddable Fractional

An Embeddable fractional CTO brings flexibility, expertise, and objectivity when it comes to technology in a business.

Engagement Structure

We work on quarterly-based engagements, either through a committed-time model, or an objective-led structure, dependent on your needs. As a fractional leader, we’re hands-on in the strategy and the delivery, working as an embedded part of your team.

The Parachute CTO

When a portfolio company loses its CTO, delivery stalls, or returns fall below plan, you need senior technology leadership quickly. We can step in at pace, stabilise the team and the platform, and set a clear direction until the business is ready for a permanent hire.

When businesses typically involve us

At the beginning of a journey, when you need confidence that the people, partners, and technology that will underpin a business or product are structured with long-term success in mind.

When a business is outgrowing its technology and steady hands are needed to enable you to strategise, implement, and sustain growth, where technology is working for you, not against you.

When stability is needed and your investment (time, cash, or otherwise) is a risk. We work with you to understand the current position, plan the next steps, and work to deliver confidence in the technical footing of a business.

In all scenarios, the goal is the same: clarity and confidence in technology.

Let's get started

Independence and alignment

Our value comes from independence, clarity of judgement, and experience operating on both sides of the table. Whether you found us directly, through a recommendation, or through an introduction from a fund, our job is the same: senior leadership that serves the business and the plan it’s been backed to deliver.

No two businesses or their needs are the same.

Good technical decisions take thought, context, and experience.

If you are exploring what the next move should be, we can help you get there with clarity and confidence.
