Leadership for right now.
Not every technology leadership gap is a permanent hire. Sometimes you need someone capable in the seat this month, or a board-level technologist for a day a month — and the same standard of judgement either way.
Two situations, one standard.
Interim technology leadership
The CTO has left, the roadmap hasn't, and a rushed permanent hire is the most expensive mistake available to you. An interim keeps delivery moving and buys you the time to run the permanent search properly — often making the permanent brief sharper in the process, because someone senior has now seen the estate from the inside.
Board-level technology
A non-executive or advisory technologist for boards that need to challenge a technology plan credibly — particularly where investors want a second opinion on architecture, delivery risk or the leadership team itself.
Either way it starts the same way: fifteen minutes on what's actually happening, and a straight answer about whether we're the right people for it.
Interim and board, answered straight.
When does an interim technology leader make sense?
When the CTO has left, the roadmap hasn’t, and a rushed permanent hire is the most expensive mistake available to you. An interim keeps delivery moving and buys you the time to run the permanent search properly, often making the permanent brief sharper in the process, because someone senior has now seen the estate from the inside.
Do you place board-level technologists?
Yes: a non-executive or advisory technologist for boards that need to challenge a technology plan credibly, particularly where investors want a second opinion on architecture, delivery risk or the leadership team itself.
How long does a CTO search take?
Typically your new hire is secured within 30 days of engaging us. The variable is rarely the market — it’s how quickly the hiring group can agree what they’re actually looking for, which is why we front-load that work.
