Fractional CTO · 1 to 4 days a week
Technical leadership,without hiring a CTO.
Architecture, hiring, vendors, security, AI, budget: an Etixio CTO makes these decisions with you, a few days a week. Every choice is documented, then taken over by your team or by our engineers in Madagascar and Mauritius.
Without technical leadership
- Decisions made on the fly
Hosting, tools, vendors: everyone decides on their own, nothing is written down.
- Vendors nobody can challenge
Quotes, technical choices, timelines: no one on the leadership side to review them.
- Hiring a full-time CTO
Long and costly, sometimes before the role is even needed.
- Risks discovered too late
Debt, security, cloud bill: they hold back the roadmap at the worst moment.
With a fractional CTO
- Flexible presence, 1 to 4 days a week
Full or half days, aligned with your meetings, reviews and trade-offs.
- Documented decisions
Context, options, chosen path: your team knows why.
- A 6- to 12-month technical roadmap
Debt, security, budget and AI prioritized with leadership.
- A team that becomes more autonomous
Standards, code reviews and handover, not a token presence.
Three phases
A well-defined role, then decisions that stick.
- Step 1
Define the role
Topics to address, expected trade-offs, presence cadence (full or half days) and points of contact. The role is kept separate from day-to-day backlog management and infrastructure administration.
DeliverableScope and cadence defined
- Step 2
Assess the current state
Architecture, debt, security, costs and team organization: the CTO reviews the existing setup and ties priorities to the company’s objectives.
