The Challenge

Growing Companies Face a Critical Technology Leadership Gap

You need hands-on execution that connects to business outcomes, but full-time executives require equity dilution and long-term commitments.

⚠️

Technology Decisions Without Strategy

Technical teams make architecture choices without understanding business impact or long-term implications.

πŸ’Έ

Full-Time Executive Costs

$200K+ salary plus equity dilution for C-level technology leadership that may not be full-time work.

πŸ”„

Strategy-Implementation Disconnect

Consultants recommend strategies but can't implement. Engineers implement but lack strategic context.

You need someone who can bridge strategy and implementation – an executive who codes.
