Technology

We lead the technical side.

Fractional CTO / CTPO, Team Build & Transition, product and software development, AI integration in your product, platform architecture, internal tools, and engineering culture — delivered with hands-on senior ownership.

Two hero retainers anchor the practice: a continuous CTPO seat, or a 6–18 month team build with structured handover.

Hero retainer

Fractional CTO / CTPO

A senior CTO + CPO in your team for 1–3 days/week — covering technology, product, and the business mechanics that connect them: budgets, KPIs, vendors, hiring, certifications, roadmap, customer communication.

Best-fit bundle

What we deliver

  • Weekly stakeholder alignment (CEO, CSM, Business)
  • Cloud / infra cost optimisation, engineering process & DevOps uplift
  • Annual product roadmap + KPIs + ROI
  • Compliance drives (SOC-2 readiness), enterprise RFPs, integrations (SSO, Salesforce, Zendesk, Twilio)
  • Customer-facing AI agents (voice, WhatsApp) and internal AI automation
  • Hiring pipeline + vendor/agency management; on-call within working hours
Hero retainer

Team Build & Transition

We run engineering (and, where relevant, product) build for a defined 6–18 month window. Gerard acts as CTPO on the cap table. The engagement ends with a structured handover to the full-time CTO or VP Eng we helped hire — not a cliff.

Best-fit bundle
Team Build & Transition · Entry €9k · Std €11k · Premium €16k / month

What we deliver

  • Hiring plan, headcount budget, compensation benchmarks
  • Job descriptions, interview rubrics, panel lead and panel training
  • International hiring setup (PEO / EOR / contractor routes)
  • Onboarding runbooks, org design, levelling
  • Team scale-up variant: hire senior engineers or EMs onto our books, place them with you, transfer when absorbed
  • Formal transition ceremony and playbook for the incoming CTO

Principles

  • — Best for founders, PE, or VC operator-buyers post-close
  • — Converts on handover into a reduced-cadence advisor retainer
Retainer · Pre & post-close

Technical Due Diligence (M&A)

Pre-close diagnostic for founders, PE funds, and VC operator-buyers. A senior, hands-on read of the platform — not a checklist exercise. Designed to convert seamlessly into Fractional CTO / CTPO or Team Build & Transition once the deal closes.

Best-fit bundle
Technical Due Diligence · Fixed-fee from €30,000

What we deliver

  • Platform state, architecture, and tech-debt review
  • Team quality, levelling, and key-person risk
  • Velocity, delivery cadence, and engineering process
  • Integration, security, IP, and compliance risk
  • Post-acquisition tech + team assessment with a 100-day plan
  • Same senior owner across pre-close, close, and the first year

Principles

  • — Fixed-fee 2–6 week engagement
  • — Converts naturally into a CTPO or Team Build retainer post-close

Software Platforms, DevOps & Infrastructure

Design, modernize, and scale production platforms with focus on reliability, cost control, and maintainability — delivered continuously under Platform Care or scoped as a specialised engagement.

Best-fit bundle
Platform Care · from €1,500 / month

What we deliver

  • Platform architecture and modernization plans
  • Cloud cost optimization (~30% AWS reduction delivered at a live reference customer)

Scoped as a specialised engagement

What we deliver

  • Workflow automation and back-office tooling
  • AI-assisted internal apps (assistants, summarizers, copilots)

Engineering Culture & Technical Hiring

Strong engineering organizations don't happen by accident. We help define culture, structure teams, and hire the right senior engineers — as part of a Team Build retainer or a lighter advisory cadence.

Best-fit bundle
