Senior technical leadership, part-time. I help nonprofits and NGOs make confident technology decisions — the strategy of a CTO without the cost of a full-time hire.
A fractional CTO is an experienced technology leader who works with your organization part-time. You get the judgment of a Chief Technology Officer — roadmaps, vendor decisions, architecture, and team leadership — scaled to a nonprofit budget and workload. With 10+ years leading product and engineering at companies like Spotify, NBCUniversal, and Bestow, I bring that enterprise experience to mission-driven organizations that need it most.
Is It Time?
You are choosing a CRM, planning a migration, or evaluating vendors — and no one on the team can pressure-test the technical trade-offs.
Data lives in disconnected tools, staff re-enter the same information, and no one owns the integration strategy.
Software costs keep growing, but you are not sure what is essential, what overlaps, and what to cut.
You have capable staff or contractors but need someone senior to set direction and raise the bar.
What I Do
A prioritized 12–18 month plan tied to your mission goals and budget, so every investment has a reason.
Objective evaluation of CRMs, fundraising tools, and integrations — with the right questions to ask before you sign.
A plan to connect your systems into a single source of truth and stop the copy-paste busywork.
Mentorship, hiring support, and process so your team can carry the work forward without me.
How It Works
We start with your mission, constraints, and the decision in front of you — not a technology pitch.
I map your current systems, spend, and risks, then identify the highest-leverage moves.
On a monthly cadence I guide decisions, review vendors, and support your team and board.
Knowledge transfer is built in, so your organization is stronger — and less dependent — over time.
Common Questions
A fractional CTO is an experienced technology leader who works with your organization part-time — providing the strategic guidance of a Chief Technology Officer without the cost of a full-time executive hire. It is ideal for nonprofits that need senior technical judgment but not a full-time role.
Agencies and developers build what you ask for. A fractional CTO helps you decide what to build (or buy) in the first place, evaluates vendors objectively, and represents your interests — not a specific product or billable project.
Most small and mid-sized nonprofits do not need a full-time CTO — but they do face real technology decisions with lasting budget and mission impact. Fractional leadership gives you that expertise scaled to your size and needs.
Engagements are typically a monthly retainer scaled to your organization, or a fixed-scope project for a specific assessment or migration. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
