Senior technology leadership for established Australian businesses — strategy, systems, security, AI adoption and vendor oversight, without a full-time CTO salary.

Why SMEs Choose a Fractional CTO

You don’t need a full-time CTO to make smart technology decisions — you need senior experience you can call on. Hiring a full-time CTO in Australia costs between $250,000 and $420,000 before equity and on-costs. A fractional CTO gives established businesses the strategy, oversight and accountability to make technology work for the business, at a fraction of that cost.

Our founder brings 27 years of hands-on experience across enterprise, government, private equity-backed and SME technology — providing senior leadership with genuine independence.

When Your Business Needs One

  • Technology spend is rising but the outcomes aren’t clear
  • You rely on vendors or a small team with no senior oversight
  • You’re concerned about security, compliance or key-person risk
  • You want to adopt AI and automation but don’t know where to start
  • A legacy platform is holding the business back and you need a plan

What You Get

  • Technology strategy tied to business goals and ROI
  • Vendor & team oversight — accountability on spend and delivery
  • Security, risk & compliance leadership
  • AI & automation roadmap — practical, prioritised and safe
  • Systems & platform planning for growth and efficiency
  • Independent assessment of your current platform and risks

Independent by Design

We provide leadership and assessment, not a sales pitch for a rebuild. You get advice on what’s genuinely right for the business — and where useful, an independent technical assessment so decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.
