Fractional CTO
Fractional CTO Leadership When You Need It
Senior fractional technology leadership when you need it, without the full-time overhead. Dom & Tom embeds alongside your leadership team to provide technical strategy, product alignment, and delivery oversight—hands-on, documented, and outcome-driven.
Fractional CTO, CPO, and delivery oversight
Fractional CTO work covers technical strategy, architecture decisions, engineering health, risk management, hiring support, and acting as a technical counterpart to leadership. Fractional CPO work covers product strategy, roadmap definition, discovery frameworks, and alignment between business and engineering. Delivery oversight covers project health, vendor management, QA readiness, and risk identification before escalation.
When fractional leadership makes sense
We typically engage when technical decisions start to compound as you scale, you have engineers but lack senior guidance, you are modernizing or rebuilding a platform, you need vendor or partner oversight, or you are preparing for a major product launch or fundraise.
How we work
Our approach is intentionally hands-on and human-in-the-loop. We embed alongside leadership in real meetings, work directly with engineers, designers, and PMs, bring structure without bureaucracy, surface risks early and clearly, and document decisions so knowledge compounds. We do not disappear after meetings or hide behind slides.
