Fractional CTO
⅛ of a CTO. You don't need the whole thing.
Most owner-led firms need the judgement of a senior technology leader, not the salary. Geekwork gives you senior technology leadership a few days a month, without the cost or commitment of recruiting a permanent CTO.
If your biggest supplier doubled its price tomorrow, would anyone at your firm know whether to pay, negotiate or leave?
If the honest answer is "me, on top of everything else", that's the gap a part-time CTO fills: senior from day one, a few days a month, easy to scale up or down.
What's covered

- SuppliersAgencies, vendors and contracts, with someone senior owning the outcome.
- SecurityAccess, backups, Cyber Essentials and a plan for when things go wrong.
- BoardTechnology reporting for the board, in plain English.
- BudgetWhat to spend, where, and what you get for it.
- HiringShaping technical roles, interviewing and onboarding.
- SystemsHow your systems fit together, and what to build, buy or retire.
