Fractional CTO

Engineering leadership for stalled programs, scaling teams, and AI that has to work in production.

I work with CEOs and boards whose technology organization is stuck or whose AI spend isn't paying off, and with CIOs and CTOs who want a second executive to think with.

RESULTS DELIVERED FOR

The results clients hire me for

Stalled programs back in production

At BP I took over Well Advisor, a $128M program that was failing to deliver, and delivered it with 10x ROI in its first six months. I take on turnarounds like that one directly, or as your part-time engineering executive.

AI that works in production

I led the AI and application development practice at Alchemy Technology Group. I design agentic systems, get teams using AI-assisted development, and repair AI-generated code that failed in production.

Leaders ready for the next stage

The leadership program I designed at JPMorgan ran for three years and became central to the firm's technology leadership pipeline. I bring that program to engineering teams, and I advise CIOs and CTOs one on one.
