Technical leadership when you need it.
You need senior technical leadership but not a full-time hire. I can step in as CTO, advise your existing technical team, or lead specific initiatives. Flexible engagement, real experience.
Companies at a turning point.
You might be preparing for an acquisition and need technical leadership to get through due diligence. You might have a CTO gap and need someone to keep the team moving. You might be scaling and need help building the technical organization.
Whatever the situation, you need someone who has done this before. Not a consultant who reads frameworks. An operator who has built and led technical teams.
How we can work together.
Step in as CTO
I take on the CTO role directly. I lead your engineering team, make technical decisions, own the roadmap, and represent technology to the rest of the business. This works best for companies that need full technical leadership but aren't ready for a permanent hire.
Advise your technical team
You have technical leadership in place, but they need a sounding board. I work alongside your CTO or VP Engineering as a strategic advisor. Architecture reviews, hiring decisions, vendor evaluations, AI strategy. A second opinion from someone who's been through it.
Lead specific initiatives
You have a critical project that needs senior leadership. An AI implementation. A platform migration. A technical due diligence for an acquisition. I come in, lead the initiative, and hand it off when it's done.
What I bring.
10 years as CEO of an enterprise ML company.
I built every function from scratch. Engineering, sales, marketing, operations. I know how technology connects to the rest of the business.
8-figure exit to a public company.
I've been through due diligence from both sides. I know what acquirers look for and what kills deals.
PhD in Computer Science from Princeton.
When I evaluate technology, I go deep. Architecture, technical debt, AI/ML capabilities, team quality. I see what generalist advisors miss.
Building ML/AI products since the early 2000s.
I've been doing this longer than most people have known it was a thing.
