I help CEOs scale products, teams & performance

Hi, I’m Ross Boardman.
Over the last 25 years, I’ve worked with companies large and small.
I was part of the leadership team that launched the UK’s largest-ever technology IPO and have held the CTO role in some of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
Now, as a seasoned Fractional CTO, I help businesses with my tech, leadership, fund-raising, and team performance expertise.
- If you’re looking for CTO expertise without the full-time salary commitment
- If you’re frustrated with missed deadlines and product delivery
- If your tech team or tech leadership is stopping you from reaching your goals...
Then, let’s grab a virtual coffee and chat.
I’ve helped turn startups into scaleups and worked with some of the world's biggest companies.
I’ve seen problems small and large; read on to see how I can help you solve yours.
How CTOs Grow Your Company
Cut costs, accelerate growth & maximize ROI
As a fractional CTO, I identify and streamline operations, helping you reduce costs and optimise your resources so your company can do more with less.


Speed up product development
With years of experience delivering products for some of the biggest names in tech, entertainment, and ecommerce, I know how to get your product to market fast. I’ll work with your team to eliminate bottlenecks, streamline development & get products to market on time, every time.
Build high-performing tech teams
Behind every great product is a great team. I’ll help you attract, retain, and develop top-tier tech talent. From company culture to mentoring leadership, I’ll ensure your team is aligned, motivated, and ready to deliver their best work.


Get your company Investor-Ready
Whether you’re preparing for a fundraising round, aiming for an IPO, or getting ready for a merger, I’ll help mentor your leadership team, audit your tech, and help you prepare for your next big step.
Let’s get your tech ready to grow fast
Scaling a company is hard work. It takes more than having a great product or service—you need the right team, processes, and technology to grow fast. That’s where I come in. With my CTO experience in scaling products and teams, I’ll help give actionable advice and strategic guidance to grow quickly and sustainably.
I can help you with:
- Creating actionable roadmaps that align with your business goals.
- Recruiting, leading, and coaching top talent to build high-performing teams.
- Streamlining your processes to improve efficiency and speed up product delivery.
- Ensuring your technology infrastructure is secure, resilient, and ready for growth.
- Preparing your company for investor scrutiny, ensuring your tech and processes meet their standards.
