Fractional CTO · agent-forward

A CTO for the company that runs on agents.

Senior technical leadership, by the month. I decide which work goes to agents, ship the first ones, and turn your team's best practices into playbooks the whole company — people and agents — actually follows.

01 — The role

Most companies don't need more AI tools. They need someone who decides which work goes to agents — and makes it stick.

Too early for a full-time CTO. Too far along to let every team buy its own chatbot and hope.

One senior operator, accountable for strategy and delivery — not a deck and a hand-off.

02 — What I own

Strategy you can ship. Practices that scale.

01

AI strategy & roadmap

A ranked map of where agents pay off first, what to build versus buy, and what to leave alone. Reviewed monthly against real numbers.

Agent-forward GTM

Research agents that prep every account, content engines that ship in your voice, and a CRM that keeps itself clean — so reps sell instead of type.

03

Best-practice enablement

Tribal knowledge becomes written playbooks, then prompts, then agents. Your team gets trained on the new way of working, not just handed a login.

04

Stack, security & spend

Vendor selection, data access, guardrails and hard spend caps — the boring layer that lets you say yes to AI without a surprise bill or a leak.
