Your company's technology, looked after by someone on your side.
I'm a fractional CTO, a part-time technology executive, for Italian small and mid-sized companies. I work alongside owners, CEOs and CFOs on technology decisions, a few days a month, with the accountability of an in-house executive.
I sit on your side of the table.
For over twenty years I've run systems, networks and security for dozens of companies. For sixteen of them I also ran a business: budgets, people, customers, suppliers.
I know what it's like to sign an IT quote without knowing whether you really need it. My job is to make sure every euro spent on technology has a reason I can explain to you.
Two issues that can't wait.
These are the questions business owners ask me most. Both are about data, a company's least visible asset.
Private AI for business
AI can save hours on quotes, technical documents and customer support. But your company's data shouldn't end up in services you don't control. I design AI solutions that run on your own systems or on European clouds, with clear rules on who sees what.
Cybersecurity for SMEs
A ransomware attack can shut a company down for days. I check backups, access and weak spots, guide you through the regulations that apply to you, and leave you a concrete plan written so your board can understand it.
Services for SMEs.
Technology Assessment
An honest snapshot of systems, contracts, costs and risks, with priorities in order.
Fractional CTO
A technology executive in your company a few days a month: strategy, budget, roadmap and supplier relations.
Cybersecurity & Risk
Risk analysis, defence and recovery planning, regulatory compliance.
AI & Automation
Concrete use cases, tool selection, private AI on your data and measurable results.
Vendor & IT Governance
Tenders, contracts, service levels and supplier oversight. Fewer surprises on the invoice.
Technology Due Diligence
Technology evaluation before an acquisition, a merger or an investment.
How I work.
First meeting
An hour to understand your company and where it hurts. No commitment.
Assessment
A few weeks to look at everything and put in writing what's there and what's missing.
Plan
Priorities, costs and timelines in a document you can read in half an hour.
Ongoing support
A regular monthly presence to put the plan into practice, for as long as it's needed.
Who it's for.
Italian companies with €5–100 million in revenue: manufacturing, logistics, services, distribution. Businesses that have grown faster than their IT, that have no technology executive, or that want a second opinion before a major decision.
