Case Studies
Fractional CTO support for scaling teams – restoring pace and predictability when growth outpaces the system.
Real-world traction. Under pressure.
I work with engineering leaders scaling past two teams – where growth starts to outpace systems and delivery needs to hold. I help stabilise delivery, unblock decision flow, and rebuild confidence between product and engineering.
Here’s what that looks like in real organisations.
Delivery Reviews
Structured diagnostics to surface what’s slowing teams down – and where to act first.
Short, focused reviews that clarify delivery friction, uncover systemic risk, and build shared understanding between product and engineering.
