What is a fractional leader?

A fractional Vice President of Engineering is a dynamic role serving leadership and engineering teams alike, offering all the expertise and benefits of a full-time VP of Engineering without the full-time commitment. As an accomplished VP of Engineering, I bring a versatile toolkit of skills and experiences, honing communication, enhancing clarity, and boosting efficiency swiftly.

Why use a fractional Engineering leader?

The role of a fractional VP of Engineering proves to be invaluable, especially for early-stage startups (usually through series C). Whether it's assisting a CTO who's deeply engrossed in code with the management and progression of an engineering team, or offering guidance to a newly-promoted VP of Engineering navigating growth areas, I have the expertise to provide targeted support. Even in times of leadership transition, my contribution can be decisive in evaluating and recalibrating future staffing needs. I serve as the primary engineering leader or as a collaborative force with the existing leadership.

Even some of the brightest minds may sometimes overlook the importance of communication and personnel-related nuances that are vital to productivity and efficient code delivery. As engineering teams grow beyond just a few members, these naturally occurring challenges in dynamic environments often become more prominent. With a respectful and subtle approach, I provide the much-needed support to bridge these gaps, helping teams reach their full potential without compromising their unique identity.

Why should you work with me?

With my extensive experience as a VPE, I've encountered a broad range of situations and have successfully stepped in to swiftly assess, devise an action plan, and enhance team performance. Working together, we can ensure that your engineering team reaches its full potential.
