Commitments

What you can count on

01 I'll tell you the truth, even when it's uncomfortable
02 I build teams that don't need me anymore
03 When I present a technical decision, you see the business consequences, not the implementation details.
04 I lead by example. I don't just delegate, I get my hands dirty

Advantage

The Mauritius advantage

Yes, I'm 2 hours ahead of Paris. That's why I'm online before you in the morning. Full overlap with European business hours, regular travel to Paris and across Europe, and my clients have my direct number.

On the budget side: based in Mauritius, my services are invoiced VAT-free. The fractional format gives you a senior CTO who is genuinely present without the weight of a full-time hire. It is the missing tier between outside advisory and headcount.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will you actually be available when I need you?

I deliberately limit my fractional engagements. When I commit to your project, I'm reachable and responsive. My clients have my direct number.

Do you advise or do the work?

Both. I set strategy at the board level and debug production incidents at 2 AM. The Drynuary story isn't the exception. It's how I operate.

What if it doesn't work out?

Every engagement starts with a scoped discovery phase. If we're not the right fit, you'll know within the first month. And so will I.

How do I explain a fractional CTO to my board?

A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works part-time across companies, with the same level of strategic involvement as a full-time CTO. I've sat in those board meetings and I can help you frame it. Short version: you get experienced tech leadership at a fraction of the cost, without the hiring risk.
