“fractional CTO”(no clue what that means, don’t ask me)
For those who were also interested to find out this means: Consultant and advisor in a part time role, paid to make decisions that would usually fall under the scope of a CTO, but for smaller companies who can’t afford a full-time experienced CTO

That sounds awful. You get someone who doesn’t really know the company or product, they take a bunch of decisions that fundamentally affect how you work, and then they’re gone.
… actually, that sounds exactly like any other company.

That’s more what a consultant is. A “Fractional C[insert function here]O is permanent or at least long-term. It just means the firm doesn’t have the resources and need for a full-time executive in that role. I’ve worked with fractional CTO, CIO, CFO, and CMO executives at different companies and they’ve all been required to have the company, industry, market, etc. knowledge that a non-fractional employee would. Honestly, this concept has been wonderful for small to midsize companies.
