Fractional CTO in Ajax
Senior technology leadership without the full-time price tag.
Fractional CTO services for Ajax, Ontario startups and growth-stage companies that need senior technology leadership without committing to a full-time hire yet. I work as part of your leadership team — 1-3 days a week — owning technology strategy, team development, vendor management, technical due diligence, and board-level technology reporting.
Why Fractional CTO matters in Ajax
Ajax's startup and growth-stage ecosystem in manufacturing and logistics has the same gap most cities have: founders who can't afford or don't yet need a $300K+ full-time CTO, but desperately need senior technical judgment in the room when key decisions are being made. Fractional fits that gap precisely.
Ajax's young, diverse, family-heavy demographic profile rewards multicultural marketing and local-services brands with active community presence.

Frequently asked questions
When is the right time to bring in a fractional CTO?
Usually when the company is post-product-market-fit, scaling engineering hires, but pre-Series B. Earlier than that, founders should code and lead themselves; later than that, you usually need a full-time CTO.
Will you work directly with my engineers, or just with me?
Both. I work directly with engineering leadership on architecture, hiring, and process — and I'm in your founders' room weekly on strategy.
Can you help with technical due diligence on an acquisition?
Yes — technical DD is a major part of fractional CTO work. I've supported Ajax founders on both sides of acquisitions, from preparing a clean technical narrative for buyers to assessing technical risk of targets.
