Tech leadership without the full-time hire

Hi, I’m Florian Andreas Rocktäschel,

and I work as a fractional CTO for companies that want to grow with technology – but don’t need a full-time executive just yet.

A fractional CTO provides the same level of technical leadership as an in-house CTO, but with greater flexibility. I step in when you need experienced guidance, hands-on execution, and strategic direction – without the overhead of a permanent hire.

Here’s what that means in practice:

Strategic tech guidance tailored to your business goals

Hands-on support for AI, automation, and scalable digital products

Interim or part-time leadership to help you grow your internal capabilities

This is a perfect fit for companies who:

Ready to take tech seriously, but not ready for a full internal team

Planning to build or expand digital products

Looking for guidance that goes beyond advice

I work directly with founders, CEOs, and decision-makers to define, build, and scale the right solutions – and then help you grow a tech team that can take it forward.

Let’s build something that lasts.

Business-Aligned Tech Strategy

Keep tech decisions grounded in what your company really needs.

I ensure that architecture, tooling, and timelines all support your core business objectives – not just technical ideals.

System & Roadmap Audits

Know where you stand - and where to go next.

I review your tools, workflows, costs, and scalability – then help clean up what’s outdated or misaligned.

Is this the support you need?

That’s exactly where I step in. As a fractional CTO, I help you shape your product vision into a working architecture – choosing the right technologies, setting up development processes, and ensuring the foundation is strong from day one. You don’t need to “figure it out” alone or rely on overpromising vendors.

You’re not alone – many business leaders are. I act as your filter and translator. I help you evaluate tools, partners, and platforms based on what your business actually needs – not what’s trendy. With me on your side, you’ll stop guessing and start making informed, confident decisions.

I break the hype down into concrete use cases. Together, we’ll identify where AI or automation makes real impact in your company – saving time, reducing cost, or improving service. Then we build simple, secure pilots using your own data. No black boxes. No magic. Just value you can see.

Whether it’s hiring your first developer or scaling to a full team, I help you structure the roles, define requirements, and even pre-vet candidates. I can bring in trusted freelancers or support your own recruiting process – until you’ve built a team that can run independently.

That’s exactly how I work. I’m fast where it counts, clear when it’s complex, and always thinking about how today’s choices affect tomorrow’s scale, security, and costs. I don’t just want your project to launch – I want it to thrive in the long run.

    Let’s talk about what’s possible

    You don’t need a full project plan to start the conversation.

    Whether you’re exploring AI for the first time, looking for technical leadership, or just want a second opinion on your strategy – I’ll help you make sense of your next steps. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a real exchange about what might work for your business.

    Drop me a message – or suggest a time for a short intro call.

    I usually respond within 1-2 business days.

    Prefer to talk live?

    Sometimes it’s easier to explain things in a quick conversation.

    If you’d rather skip the form and go straight to a call, you can book a free 20–30 minute intro session with me. We’ll look at what you’re trying to achieve and see if I’m the right fit to support you.

    No prep needed. No sales pressure. Just a focused, honest exchange.
