Also known as a virtual CTO, vCTO or CTO as a service, this is senior technology leadership on a part-time basis, without a full-time hire.
Senior technology leadership from Dubai, across the Middle East and Europe, without a full-time hire. Fractional, interim, or embedded. Usually 2–8 days a month.
Not every organisation needs a full-time CTO. Avansar gives you senior technology leadership on a flexible basis: roadmap, architecture, vendors, security, team standards, and board-ready reporting. We work with founders, family businesses, and mid-market firms in the Gulf and Europe.
Three flexible options to match your organization's needs and growth stage
