Fractional CTO

Experienced leadership for where your business is going.

Bringing senior expertise across technology, data and information on a flexible, fractional basis.

What is a Fractional CTO?

A Fractional CTO brings senior experience and judgement when it’s needed – helping set direction, make informed technology choices and prepare the business for what comes next.

The role is shaped around the needs and existing capabilities of the business, providing strategic leadership and senior oversight while strengthening the people and capabilities already in place.

Whether setting strategy and investment priorities, guiding teams and suppliers, or putting the right foundations, governance and ways of working in place, our remit can also extend across data and information – bringing the breadth of AIK Advisory’s expertise in a way that suits you.

When might you need a Fractional CTO?

You might need a Fractional CTO when:

  • Your business is growing or changing
    You need a different level of technology leadership to support where it’s going.

  • Technology is becoming more complex or consequential
    You need greater experience and senior judgement at leadership level

  • You’re investing or modernising
    You need experienced leadership to navigate a significant period of technology, data or AI change.

  • You’re going through a leadership transition
    You may have a temporary gap, need help to recruit, want to develop someone internally, or still deciding what a longer-term role should look like.

  • You need additional senior expertise
    A defined period, project or challenge needs senior input without changing your longer-term leadership structure.

“Alan led our Data Strategy and Governance initiative for a number of years. He helped improve our data maturity to harness the power of our data.

“Able to communicate at all levels, I particularly liked the way he would gather report specifications from non-technical people simply by sketching what they had asked for so they could show him what they really wanted.

“Very knowledgeable and pragmatic, Alan was a great asset to our organisation.”

Stuart Robinson, Director of Financial Systems and Improvement, Irwin Mitchell LLP
