Why I Focus on Manufacturing & Retail Companies—Not Just Startups—as a Fractional CTO

Why I Focus on Manufacturing & Retail Companies—Not Just Startups—as a Fractional CTO

Most Fractional CTOs chase startups. I’ve chosen a different path: partnering with midsized to large manufacturing and retail organizations that need strategic technology leadership—but not necessarily a full-time CTO.

These industries face unique challenges:

• Aging infrastructure and legacy systems that slow down operations
• Disconnected systems across warehouses, stores, and suppliers
• Pressure to modernize without disrupting production or customer experience
• Growing demand for data-driven decisions, automation, and AI
• Complex vendor ecosystems and rising cybersecurity risks

I help these companies:

✅ Build scalable, secure technology roadmaps

✅ Align IT investments with business and financial goals

✅ Modernize legacy systems and integrate platforms

✅ Mentor internal teams and elevate engineering culture

✅ Navigate cloud, AI, and security transformations with confidence

If you're in manufacturing or retail and need a strategic tech partner—not just a fixer—I’d love to connect.
