HOW WE CAN HELP
Steal our proven 3 step system
Connect Tech to Business Value
I evaluate each initiative against measurable business metrics, bringing technical leaders into strategic conversations to create a shared language around value creation.
This eliminates the common disconnect between business units and engineering teams, ensuring technology serves as a strategic lever rather than just a cost center.
Build Ownership-Driven Teams
Drawing from my experience with global teams across four countries, I implement a team model that aligns engineering directly with business units while maintaining technical excellence through disciplined guilds.
The foundation is fostering an ownership mindset where teams take full responsibility for outcomes, not just execution.
Create Integrated Product Ecosystems
I develop cohesive product strategies that create value through integrated systems rather than standalone offerings.
By focusing relentlessly on solving real customer problems, I ensure technology investments create differentiated offerings that generate multiple revenue streams and sustainable competitive advantages.

Why a Fractional CTO is the Growth Accelerator for Product Development Needs
Companies need executive level technology leadership to scale, but can't justify the substantial annual cost of a full-time CTO. This gap leaves key strategic decisions to overworked engineering managers or outside vendors with misaligned incentives, resulting in costly missteps, technical debt, and missed market opportunities.
A fractional CTO provides the strategic expertise of a seasoned technology executive at a fraction of the cost. With my experience building product ecosystems worth hundreds of millions and managing global engineering teams, I bring enterprise-level leadership to your Smart Home organization without the enterprise-level price tag.
