Senior judgement,without thetwo salaries.
An operations leader with eighteen years of building how companies run, and an architect who ships production AI. Both in the room every week, on a retainer you can cancel.
A fractional COO and a fractional CTO, from one firm, working the same problem. Most founders at this stage need both and can responsibly afford neither — two senior executive hires is most of a funding round before either has proven anything.
The retainer buys the judgement rather than the headcount: a weekly operating rhythm with your leadership team, architecture and build oversight on the technical side, and someone on call for the decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
It works because the two roles are not separate engagements. The person redesigning the process is in the room with the person automating it, so nothing is lost in a handover between two vendors who have never spoken.
The work, in four parts.
Fractional COO
The operating half — rhythm, ownership, performance and the discipline that makes growth survivable.
- Weekly operating cadence with leadership
- Org design and hiring sequence
- KPI and performance management
- P&L visibility and delivery oversight
Fractional CTO
The technical half — architecture, delivery and knowing which engineering opinions are worth the money.
- Architecture and build oversight
- Technical due diligence
- Vendor and agency evaluation
- Engineering hiring and code review
Standing advisory
The line you call before a decision, not after it has already cost something.
- On-call for consequential decisions
- Board and investor material review
- Pricing and commercial model input
- Quarterly planning facilitation

- 01You are the bottleneck and know it
- 02You need executive judgement before you can justify executive salaries
- 03An agency is quoting you numbers you cannot evaluate
- 04You have no one to think out loud with
Deliverables, all yours.
- Weekly operating cadence, run with your team
- Architecture and delivery oversight
- Hiring plans and interview support
- Technical due diligence when you need it
- Continuous improvement against agreed metrics
- Month-to-month terms — cancel whenever
Fractional COO & CTO, answered.
A standing weekly cadence with leadership plus availability in between. We scope the exact commitment per engagement, because a business mid-rebuild needs more of us than one that is steady.
