Europe

Fractional CTO and product leadership for European companies

European companies often run multi-country products, GDPR-aware architecture, and engineering teams split across cities. I work as a Fractional CTO and technology advisor with founders and executives who need senior ownership without immediately hiring a full-time CTO in every market.

UK, EU, and remote hubs

Engagements cover UK and EU companies and remote European teams. The problems are the same kind I see elsewhere (product, architecture, AI, delivery), plus European operating context such as privacy, the local vendor market, and cross-border teams.

Languages and markets

Engagements run in English, and this website is also available in French and German. Product localisation is treated as a release constraint when you sell into more than one language market, rather than something tacked on at the end.

Typical engagements

Fractional CTO for a SaaS or FinTech product, an AI diagnostic on existing operations, MVP sequencing, or a technology audit before a raise or acquisition conversation.
