Fractional CTO & CDO

Fractional Digital Leadership gives mid-sized B2B companies access to the same caliber of digital expertise that powers enterprise organizations—without the six-figure salary, benefits, and hiring complexity.

Unlike traditional consulting that delivers recommendations without implementation, or agencies that execute without strategic direction, Fractional Digital Leadership provides both strategic guidance and hands-on execution support.

You get a proven digital leader who:

• Works directly with your leadership team
• Develops and executes your digital strategy
• Manages technical vendors and partners
• Builds capabilities within your existing team
• Drives measurable business outcomes

"Having Stefan as our Fractional Digital Leader has been transformative. We've accelerated our digital initiatives by years, while avoiding the cost and risk of a full-time hire." — [Executive Name], [Title], [Company]

1. The Digital Leadership Gap

Mid-sized B2B companies need enterprise-grade digital expertise but can't justify a full-time executive salary. This leadership gap leads to fragmented initiatives, wasted budgets, and stalled growth.

2. The Execution Problem

Most consultants deliver strategies but leave implementation to your already stretched team. Without the right expertise to execute, even the best strategies gather dust.

3. The Agency Trap

Managing multiple agencies creates complexity, increases costs, and often leads to misaligned efforts. You need someone who can coordinate and optimize these relationships.

Our Fractional Digital Leadership program solves these challenges by providing the right expertise, at the right time, at the right investment level.
