EXECUTIVE & TECHNICAL ADVISORY
Fractional CTO & Strategy for High-Growth Game Studios
De-risk production, validate complex tech pipelines, and refine publisher strategy with 35+ years of video game industry leadership—without full-time C-suite overhead.
Strategic Leadership Without C-Suite Overhead
Scaling an independent studio or tech platform requires high-level executive direction, but bringing on full-time executive headcount too early drains capital and adds operational friction.
High-Leverage Flexibility
-
The Challenge: Early-to-mid stage studios need experienced CTO and BD leadership on demand, but can't justify a $300k+ full-time executive salary and equity package.
-
-
The Advisory Fix: Direct, low-friction access to 35+ years of video game industry expertise on a predictable, fixed monthly retainer tailored to your milestone target.
Commercial & Pitch Readiness
-
The Challenge: Pushing into full production without validating engine architecture, pipeline throughput, or platform scalability leads to severe schedule slips and costly late-stage rewrites.
-
The Advisory Fix: Rigorous pre-production pipeline audits, engine selection reviews, and technical debt evaluations before you scale team headcount.
