What happens on the call

This is not a sales pitch. Here's what to expect in 30 minutes:

  • 1

    You lay out the mess

    You tell me straight: slow delivery, tech debt piles, scaling blocks, team friction; the real problems keeping you up at night.

  • 2

    I drill down fast

    I ask direct, tough questions to separate symptoms from root causes. No sugarcoating.

  • 3

    We map the fix

    We reality-check if it's solvable in 3-6 months and outline the radical, simple path forward.

  • 4

    I show how I'd step in

    If it's a clear fit, I explain exactly how I'd take over as interim CTO or consultant. Including the hard calls.

  • 5

    You decide, no pressure

    We end with clear next steps. You walk away with at least one actionable insight, even if we stop here.

Most founders get immediate value. Even if we don't work together.

Common questions

What does an engagement cost?
Interim CTO engagements are typically billed at a day rate. Focused consulting engagements can be day rate or fixed price. I'll give you exact numbers after the discovery call when I understand the scope.
What if it doesn't work?
I'm direct about fit during our first call. If I don't think I can help, I'll tell you. During engagements, we set clear milestones. If we're not seeing progress, we adjust or stop.
How do you handle resistance from the team?
I earn trust by shipping quick wins and being transparent about why we're making changes. Engineers respond to someone who understands the code, not just the org chart.
What does month 1 look like vs month 6?
Month 1: diagnosis, first cuts to process waste, quick wins that build momentum. Month 6: the org runs without me. Predictable delivery, clear ownership, no heroics needed.
