We lead technology organizations through critical transitions
When technology companies face leadership vacuums, execution crises, or scaling challenges, we provide experienced operators who embed directly, execute with full accountability, and transfer capability before we exit.
Interim Leadership
Step into CTO, VP Engineering, or technical director roles with immediate effect. Full decision-making authority. Full accountability for results.
Execution Support
Stabilize failing projects, resolve technical debt, and restore delivery capacity. Pragmatic intervention for situations requiring immediate action.
Strategic Alignment
Bridge the gap between technical reality and business objectives. Clear communication with boards, investors, and executive teams.
Capability Building
Develop internal leadership, establish sustainable processes, and mature organizational capability. We exit when you no longer need us.
When organizations engage our firm
We work with technology companies at inflection points—moments when experienced leadership can determine whether a challenge becomes a crisis or an opportunity.
Leadership Transition
A critical technical leader has departed. The organization needs experienced direction while building permanent capacity. Decisions are stalled and stakeholders require visibility into technical execution.
Project Crisis
A major initiative is failing to deliver. Timelines have slipped repeatedly. The team cannot identify root causes or break established patterns. External perspective and decisive action are required.
Scaling Breakdown
The organization is growing faster than its ability to execute. Processes that worked at one scale are failing at another. Engineering capability must mature quickly to match business trajectory.
Stakeholder Alignment
Technical and business leadership are misaligned. Communication has broken down. Investors or board members require independent assessment and clear pathways forward.
Due Diligence Support
An acquisition, investment, or strategic review requires honest technical assessment. Organizations need external expertise to evaluate capability, risk, and execution capacity.
Organizational Development
The engineering organization requires structural maturation. Hiring processes, team structures, and leadership development need systematic attention from practitioners who have built at scale.
How we work with clients
Embedded Execution
We operate from within your organization, not as external advisors. Our operators attend your meetings, use your systems, and take direct accountability for outcomes. High trust, high autonomy, high accountability.
Defined Engagement
Every engagement has explicit scope, deliverables, and exit criteria established at the outset. Typical durations range from 8 weeks for crisis stabilization to 6-9 months for organizational development.
Knowledge Transfer
Sustainable outcomes require capability building. We develop internal leadership, establish processes that scale, and ensure your organization can maintain momentum after our engagement concludes.
Direct Communication
We provide honest assessment even when the findings are uncomfortable. Our value lies in accurate diagnosis and effective action, not in telling clients what they want to hear.
Practitioners, not consultants
Our operators bring fifteen or more years of hands-on experience leading technology organizations through growth, crisis, and transformation. We have served as CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical founders across industries including fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and developer tools.
We take engagements where our experience directly applies to the client situation. When we are not the right fit, we say so.
Philipps & Byrne
We maintain a strategic partnership with Philipps & Byrne for technical due diligence and interim execution. When their portfolio companies or acquisition targets require technical assessment or experienced operators, we collaborate to deliver rigorous evaluation and hands-on support.
