Your engineering organisation is stuck.
I help get it moving again.

I’m Frank van den Brink, an interim CTO and engineering leader for European scale-ups and tech departments of 20–250 people. I step in when delivery has slowed down, the tech is fighting the business, or nobody can make a decision stick.

I work alongside the people doing the work. I look at the code, the delivery system, the organisation and the decisions being avoided. Then we remove the constraint and make the changes stick.

No imposed framework. No deck handed over at the end. No process theatre.

Examples from anonymised engagements

An 80-person SaaS team got a backlog moving

Planning overhead dropped by 80%. A feature that had taken six weeks shipped in two.

A 60-person SaaS team found the real bottleneck

Out of 47 microservices, one dependency was blocking delivery. Coordination for affected features fell from 14 weeks to five.

A 150-person post-acquisition fintech stopped the decline

Clashing cultures and duplicate systems had cut delivery speed by 50%, and key talent was leaving. The teams were unified around shared practices, stopping the decline and restoring momentum.
