Hi there 👋 I’m Klaas.
I’m not just another tech guy – I’m the advisor that CEOs keep on speed dial long after our projects end. Why? Because I deliver results, speak their language, and never lose sight of the bottom line.
- Nominated three times as CTO of the Year in the UK (yeah, it’s a thing)
- Built lasting friendships with every CEO I’ve worked with – they keep coming back for my perspective
- Known for my deep tech expertise and ability to lead even the most challenging teams
- Respected industry-wide for delivering results from complex projects
This service is for you, a CEO who runs a medium size company.
You’re likely dealing with real-world problems that can make or break your company’s brittle growth:
- Uncertain tech ROI – burning cash or building a launchpad?
- Misaligned delivery impacting your go-to-market plan
- Technical debt outpacing your feature wishlist
- Slow feature releases and customer response times
- Unclear tech roadmap hindering startup success
Sound familiar? 3 out of 4 CEOs I’ve worked with faced these issues. As a founder, you deserve technology that delivers your vision. Failing here can cost you investor confidence, funding, and even your startup’s future.

FAQ
Other CEOs have asked...
I already have a CTO. Why do I need your service?
Is your tech leader – whether that’s a CTO, VP of Engineering, or senior developer – translating their technical expertise into tangible business growth?
Or are you left nodding along in meetings, hoping you’re not missing something crucial?
We’re here to bridge that gap. If you have a first-time CTO, we’ll mentor them to think beyond code and align tech with your business strategy.
For companies with a tech leader, we’ll work alongside them to craft a robust technology vision and roadmap that directly supports your growth targets.
We’ll challenge assumptions that might be bleeding your budget dry, and ensure your tech strategy isn’t just impressive-sounding jargon, but a real driver of your business goals. Whether you’re scaling up or pivoting, we’ll make sure your tech team is your growth engine, not your bottleneck.
