What is a Fractional CTO / Enterprise Architect?

đź’ˇ What is a Fractional CTO / Enterprise Architect (EA)?

Not every company needs a full-time CTO or EA, but many need their expertise. A fractional role means:

âś… You get on-demand leadership & guidance

âś… You pay only for what you need (flexible engagement)

âś… You gain senior-level strategic insight without long-term overhead

Startups, scale-ups, and even enterprises can accelerate growth, avoid costly mistakes, and optimize their tech stack with fractional support.

Would a fractional tech leader make sense for your business? Let’s discuss!

When would your business need a fractional CTO / Enterprise Architect

These are good signs -

  • There is uncertainty about how to realise strategic aspirations.

  • Your business is struggling with technology, scaling, and architecture decisions.

  • Your engineering and technical teams need some targetted advice or mentoring.

That’s the best time to engage with me, to get strategic advisory, consulting and architecture support.

What would I do as in this fractional CTO / Enterprise Architect role?

It depends. Who doesn’t love that answer. Seriously though, it depends on what you need, but ultimately it is about understanding your business and setting a strategy that helps to meet and exceed your business goals.
