Fractional CTO Victoria
Technology leadership for growing Victoria businesses. No full-time hire required.
Victoria has a growing technology sector, a strong professional services community, and a government-adjacent business environment — a mix that creates real demand for technology leadership that understands both operational reality and strategic direction. Victoria's tech and services businesses are scaling into territory where informal technology decisions start creating real risk. AI adoption, vendor management, software decisions, and delivery governance all become more consequential as the business grows.

This is for founders, CEOs, and COOs running growing Victoria-area businesses who are hitting real technology constraints.

You have developers, a technical team, or vendors in place, but no senior leader confirming they are focused on what actually matters
AI keeps coming up, and you want an honest, independent read on what it would actually mean for your business
You are about to make a significant technology investment and want an experienced second opinion first

Common Questions
Straight answers to the questions most people ask before reaching out.
Do you work with businesses based in Victoria?
Yes. Most work is done remotely, so geography is not a limitation. I work with businesses across British Columbia and across Canada. The first step is a free 30-minute call to discuss your situation regardless of where you are located.
What does a fractional CTO actually do?
A fractional CTO provides executive technology leadership a few days a month, covering roadmap decisions, vendor oversight, team guidance, AI strategy, and risk management. Unlike a pure advisory engagement, I can get into the technical work directly when the situation calls for it.
How quickly can we get started?
Most engagements start within two weeks of an initial strategy call. The first step is a free 30-minute conversation to understand your situation and identify whether, and how, I can help.
What does this cost?
Engagements are scoped to what your business actually needs. The starting point is a free call, which gives us both a clear picture of the situation. If it makes sense to work together, I will tell you exactly what it would cost and why.
