Most ambitious Dutch companies need a Chief Technology Officer but can't yet justify the full-time hire or salary. That is the problem TechLeadNL solves. I am a fractional CTO, CIO, and Chief Architect working 1–3 days per week with growth-stage and mid-market organizations. My job: define technology strategy that drives business outcomes, build engineering teams and culture, architect data and cloud platforms, navigate regulatory complexity (NIS2, GDPR, compliance), and lead digital transformation. I bring 30 years of enterprise-scale experience—scaling data platforms across 29 countries, building architecture practices from zero to enterprise maturity, leading global engineering teams, and delivering measurable business impact in financial services, manufacturing, and marine technology. Available for fractional CTO/CIO roles, transformation programs, and strategic advisory. Let us talk about your technology challenge.
