Fractional CTO & technology adviser
Senior technology leadership—without hiring a full-time CTO.
Independent, commercially grounded advice for UK business owners making important decisions about software, cloud, AI, technical suppliers and delivery.
The gap
You may not need a full-time CTO. You still need someone accountable for the decisions.
Technology decisions often fall between a busy business owner, an internal delivery team and external suppliers. Each party can be capable, yet nobody holds the complete technical and commercial picture.
Fractional technology leadership gives you an experienced, independent person who can understand the detail, explain the trade-offs and keep decisions connected to the outcome the business actually needs.
What I can take responsibility for
Connect business priorities to sound technical action
The service is shaped around the decisions, risks and delivery responsibilities that currently lack experienced ownership.
- Technology and AI roadmap tied to commercial priorities
- Architecture, security and operational risk review
- Independent evaluation of suppliers and proposals
- Delivery assurance for important software projects
- Technical due diligence before major commitments
- Modernisation decisions for .NET, Azure and legacy estates
- Turning credible AI pilots into controlled production services
- Clear recommendations for owners, boards and delivery teams
Ways to engage
Start with the level of certainty you have
- 01
Diagnose
A fixed-scope technology health check creates an evidence-based view of risks, priorities and options.
- 02
Direct
An agreed monthly cadence provides ongoing decisions, roadmap ownership and technical oversight.
- 03
Deliver
Move a defined recommendation into hands-on implementation with your team, supplier or Domville Tech.
- 04
Protect
Review operating evidence, delivery progress and emerging risk so improvements remain dependable.
A good fit
For organisations where technology matters, but senior leadership is missing or stretched
- Owner-managed businesses making a significant technology investment
- Non-technical leaders managing developers or an outsourced supplier
- Growing teams that need direction before a permanent CTO hire
- Organisations inheriting a difficult system, supplier or programme
- Businesses deciding where AI can create credible value
The first 30 days
Create clarity before creating more activity
A typical first stage establishes the business priorities, current estate, supplier commitments, delivery evidence and material risks. You receive a plain-English view of what needs attention, what can wait and who should own each next action.
Where implementation is appropriate, the next stage is separately scoped. You retain the choice to use your existing people, another supplier or Domville Tech for delivery.
Common questions
Fractional technical leadership in practical terms
Is this the same as an IT consultant?
The emphasis is broader: independent ownership of direction, decisions and assurance, not simply advice on one product or project.
Will you work with our current supplier?
Yes. The role can provide an informed client-side counterpart, clarify expectations and help both sides work from the same evidence.
Are you still hands-on?
Yes. Deep .NET, Azure, SQL and applied AI experience makes the advice technically credible and allows focused implementation where it adds value.
How long is the commitment?
Begin with a bounded assessment or an agreed initial period. Any ongoing monthly arrangement has defined capacity, responsibilities and review points.
