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.

Web application & digital product development
AI strategy, LLM integration & automation

Start small — scale fast

Focused engagements. Clear deliverables.

Not ready for an ongoing engagement? These standalone services give you senior-level clarity on the areas that matter most — with no retainers and no ongoing commitment.

AI Readiness Audit

Cut through the hype.

A structured assessment that maps your workflows, identifies where AI will genuinely deliver ROI, and produces a prioritised implementation roadmap — not a slide deck full of buzzwords.

CTO Strategy Day

One day. Full clarity.

A facilitated strategy session with your leadership team that produces a written technology strategy, prioritised roadmap, and 90-day action plan — aligned to your commercial goals.

Tech Health Check

Clear diagnosis. Clear priorities.

A 360-degree review of your technology estate — infrastructure, security, code quality, development practices, and vendor landscape — scored, assessed, and delivered with a prioritised action plan.

Cyber Security Review

Know where you’re exposed.

A structured assessment of your security posture — access controls, data protection, infrastructure, application security, and incident readiness — with a prioritised remediation plan.

How it works

Simple. Structured. No surprises.

About

I'm Rory Oliver— a technology leader with 20+ years of experience across enterprise and high-growth environments. I've built platforms used by 75% of UK GPs, led digital product delivery for brands like BMW, Samsung, KFC, and Uber, 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.
