Available for new engagements

Fractional CTO for growing businesses.

Senior technology leadership on a flexible, fractional basis — aligned directly to your commercial outcomes.

What I do

Senior judgement. Applied where it matters.

A full-time CTO costs £150k+. Most growing businesses don't need one full-time — they need senior technical judgement, applied precisely when and where it matters.

Fractional CTO

Strategic and technical leadership exactly when it matters — without the cost, commitment, or distraction of a full-time hire. I embed as part of your team, present in standups, architecture decisions, and board-level conversations. Engaged around outcomes, not a clock.

About

I'm Rory Oliver — a technology leader with 20+ years across enterprise and high-growth environments.

I've built platforms used by 75% of UK GPs, led digital product delivery for brands like Google, Novo Nordisk, KFC, BMW, Samsung, and IKEA, and founded a startup that floated on a US exchange. I work with SMEs scaling fast, MedComms and HealthTech companies navigating regulation, marketing agencies managing complex technology stacks, and PE-backed businesses going through post-acquisition integration. I don't deliver generic frameworks — I bring deep, hands-on experience to your specific context.

Who I work with

Businesses that need senior oversight, not another agency.

SMEs scaling fast

Tech-enabled businesses (£1m–£20m) without senior technical oversight.

MedComms & HealthTech

Regulated health environments needing secure, compliant platforms.

Marketing Agencies

Agencies navigating AI, data platforms, and martech complexity.

PE-backed businesses

M&A due diligence and post-acquisition platform integration.
