Strategy and execution, on the days you need it.
For early-stage startups, that might be setting up development practices and making foundational architecture decisions. For growth-stage companies, scaling the team, managing technical debt, and communicating with investors. For established organisations, leading a modernisation initiative or preparing for due diligence.
The work spans strategy and execution. We develop technology roadmaps and present to your board, and we review pull requests and help debug production issues. We hire engineers and design team structures, and we get into the codebase when that is what the moment calls for. Actual leadership, on a fractional basis.
For technical leaders, by technical leaders.
Leading a technical organisation is its own kind of challenge. Bridging engineering and business. Managing highly skilled knowledge workers. Making decisions with incomplete information. Often doing all of that while the organisation is changing rapidly around you.
In partnership with Lena Reinhard, we offer coaching designed for technical leaders. CTOs, VPs of Engineering, technical founders, engineering managers navigating the transition from individual contributor to leader. The coaching combines Lena’s expertise in organisational psychology with practical experience leading engineering organisations.
We work on the things that actually come up: building engineering culture, scaling teams without losing what made them effective, communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, managing the emotional demands of leadership.
