Fractional CTO for growing businesses.
Senior technology leadership on a flexible, fractional basis — aligned directly to your commercial outcomes.
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.
Focused engagements. Clear deliverables.
AI Readiness Audit
Cut through the hype. Know exactly where AI will deliver ROI — not a slide deck full of buzzwords.

A 360-degree review — infrastructure, security, code quality, practices, vendors — scored and prioritised.

Know where you're exposed. A structured posture assessment with a prioritised remediation plan.
Simple. Structured. No surprises.
Discovery call
30 minutes. Free. We establish where the real pain is.

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.
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.
