CTOmetry
Senior technology leadership for mid-market operations and tech teams who need to ship — without the six-figure salary, the recruiter fees, or the twelve-month bet.
The problem
The delivery function stopped keeping up months ago. You know it. Your board knows it. Hiring a full-time CTO isn't the answer today.
Strategy is decided by people who can't pressure-test the delivery plan or the supplier promises behind it.
Every board meeting brings the same amber statuses, the same excuses, and the same rolling six-month plan.
Headcount, contractors, tooling — all growing. Shipped outcomes are not. Nobody can explain the gap.
One or two engineers hold the whole system in their heads. If they leave, delivery stops.
What we do
A senior operator in your leadership meetings, owning the technology plan, the supplier relationships and the delivery scorecard.
A four-week independent read on why delivery is stuck — team, tooling, architecture, suppliers — with a costed plan to fix it.
We run the turnaround. Restructure the team, rewrite the plan, ship the first three releases — then hand back a working function.
How it works
A 45-minute call to understand where delivery stands, what the board is asking, and whether we're the right fit.
We meet the team, review the plan, the code, the suppliers and the numbers. You get a written verdict.
We take on the CTO seat or run the turnaround. First outcomes visible inside 30 days.
Why CTOmetry
Not consultants writing a deck. Practitioners who have run engineering organisations of 20 to 200, shipped critical systems, and answered to a board.
We speak the language of the CEO, CFO and Chair — and translate the technical reality without softening it.
No reseller kickbacks. No tool preferences dressed up as strategy. Our loyalty is to your outcome.
You'll know we're working because the roadmap moves — not because another PDF landed in your inbox.
Get started
One call. No slide deck. A straight read on whether we can help — and what it would take.
