What about hands-on technical work remotely?

Remote CTOs can participate in code review, architecture discussions, and technical decisions just as effectively as on-site. Tools like GitHub, Slack, and video conferencing enable seamless collaboration. The key is clear documentation and communication practices.

Do companies prefer on-site or remote Fractional CTOs?

Most tech companies are comfortable with remote CTO leadership, especially post-pandemic. The focus is on outcomes and impact rather than physical presence. Some companies request periodic on-site days for team events or planning sessions.
