Senior technology judgment for the decisions that shape your business.
Growing companies reach a point where technology decisions are too important, and too expensive, to make without experienced ownership. OrangeRivet provides CTO-level judgment and accountable leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire, helping you make better technology decisions, reduce risk, and build a function that can scale with the business.
You probably don't need more technology. You need the right calls made.
Most companies bring in a fractional CTO because the current situation is getting expensive to live with. It's time to talk if:
- Delivery is unpredictable: dates keep moving, and no one can say why.
- Growth is exposing cracks in your systems, processes, and team.
- Technology spend keeps rising without a matching return in speed or leverage.
- No senior leader owns technology risk, and the gaps are starting to show.
- AI adoption is moving faster than your ability to evaluate the risk and value.
- A leadership transition has left a technology vacuum at the top.
Technology leadership from someone who's carried the accountability.
30+ years where the decisions were mine to make, and the outcomes were mine to answer for.
About OrangeRivet →Three ways to work together
The same senior judgment at three levels of intensity, from a few hours a month to full-time ownership.
Confidence on consequential decisions
Senior counsel for founders, CEOs, and boards facing technology decisions where getting it wrong is expensive. Architecture, AI, vendors, investment, team structure, build-vs-buy, and the decisions you want an experienced CTO in the room for.
Own the technology function
Embedded 1–3 days a week with real ownership of technology outcomes: priorities, architecture, engineering, vendors, risk, team, and delivery. Not another advisor handing you a deck, but the person accountable for getting the technology function where it needs to go.
Cover the gap
Temporary full-time ownership: continuity for the technology function through a transition or leadership gap, until a permanent hire is in place.
We build independence, not dependency.
Built for environments where technology mistakes are expensive.
OrangeRivet works across industries, but we're particularly valuable where technology intersects with regulation, sensitive data, financial transactions, or material business risk.
