How fast can you start?
Usually within 2–4 weeks. A discovery call, a conversation with your team, then contract and kick-off.
How is interim different from fractional VP Eng?
Embedded interim runs 2–3 days a week, more in the first crisis weeks, usually for 3–6 months. Fractional is 1–2 days a week, ongoing, focused on direction and oversight.
Can I extend the engagement?
Yes. We evaluate every 90 days. Many companies keep the model running at 2–3 days a week instead of hiring full-time. If you do hire, I transition them in 2–3 weeks.
What if we decide to hire a full-time Head of Engineering?
Then I help you find them. I sit in on interviews and give you a second opinion, and your engineers see that leadership continuity matters.
What if we need you in the office?
2–3 days per week on site works. I work remotely the other days and am on calls. Munich, Berlin, Zurich and other EU cities are easy to reach. Full-time relocation isn't my model.
What happens when you leave?
Everything is documented, from the hiring process to team structure decisions and interview rubrics. I do a 2–3 week overlap with the permanent hire.
What's your background?
16 years in engineering, 13 of them leading teams. Scaled a Munich product company from 3 to 20+ engineers. Coached 15 principal architects at a Swiss investment bank. Led a 26-person IT agency. EMBA, MSc CS, ICF coaching certification.
