Ongoing owner-side technical oversight
Technical Operating Partner
Ongoing owner-side technical oversight for companies without a senior internal technical owner.
I represent your side technically, so management is not dependent only on what vendors or developers say.
Controlled automation is part of the work only where it makes sense: after the workflow, owner, inputs, quality criteria, and failure cases are clear.
Starting point
From €2,500/month
Prices exclude VAT.
Who it's for
- Owners and CEOs without senior internal technical leadership
- Companies dependent on external software vendors
- Firms with custom software, internal tools, CRM/ERP integrations, portals, dashboards, or automation
- Teams where developers exist, but no one owns architecture, delivery discipline, or long-term technical risk
Problems I solve
- Vendor proposals and technical decisions are hard to evaluate
- Software projects keep slipping
- Developers optimize local tasks, but no one owns the whole system
- The company is accumulating hidden technical debt
What I do
- 1Represent your side technically in key vendor and project conversations
- 2Review proposals, estimates, roadmap choices, and architecture decisions
- 3Maintain a simple risk register and decision log
- 4Define acceptance criteria and quality gates
- 5Translate technical trade-offs into business consequences
What I need (typical)
- Access to vendor proposals, project plans, roadmap, and relevant technical artifacts
- A management contact who can make or escalate decisions
- Regular project or vendor touchpoints
- Enough visibility to compare technical claims with delivery reality
What you get
- Monthly technical risk register
- Decision log with key technical trade-offs
- Vendor/proposal review notes
- Meeting notes and next technical actions
- Acceptance criteria and quality gates for active work
- Roadmap and estimate sanity checks
- Monthly management summary: what is risky, what is reasonable, what to decide next
Not a fit if
- You want cheap development capacity
- You want to keep shipping without technical ownership
- You are unwilling to include vendors or internal teams in technical review
Success looks like
- Management understands the real technical risk
- Vendor conversations become more concrete
- Fewer hidden surprises appear late in the project
- The company is less dependent on one vendor, developer, or informal explanation
