What is a fractional CTO?

A Fractional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is a seasoned technology executive who provides strategic, high-level technology leadership to a company on a part-time or contractual basis. Think of it as having access to the expertise of a full-time CTO without the commitment and cost of a full-time executive salary. This model has become increasingly popular for startups, small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and even larger enterprises with specific, project-based needs.
