A Chief Technology Officer who aligns technology with the growth plan

A fractional CTO is a senior technology executive who provides strategic technology leadership to your business on a part-time basis. Through our fractional executive search we run a curated process and embed a vetted operator who owns outcomes - technology roadmaps, vendor management, data governance, cybersecurity strategy, and digital modernisation - at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. You get hands-on strategic direction without the overhead of a permanent executive salary.

A consultant produces recommendations and leaves. We embed a senior technology leader in your business who sets strategy, manages vendor relationships, oversees implementation, and owns measurable outcomes over time. The body of executives behind every placement is our collective of 350+ executives - the difference is between a report and ongoing strategic leadership.

Yes. OJK supervises fintech and digital lending, and POJK 40/2024 raised minimum equity (IDR 7.5bn rising to IDR 12.5bn) and capped NPLs at 5% for P2P platforms, which depends on compliance-grade data and risk systems. Our fractional CTOs implement data governance frameworks, establish consent and retention practices, build incident response plans, and deploy layered security measures sized for growth-stage budgets.

Across Indonesia's digital economy the gap between experimentation and measurable business value remains wide. Our fractional CTOs bridge it by evaluating use cases against your business objectives, establishing governance frameworks, running structured pilots with clear success metrics, and managing the change process required to move from experimentation to integrated operations.

A full-time technology executive in Jakarta commonly costs IDR 630 million to 1.6 billion per year in total compensation (senior conglomerate and MNC packages run well above this), and a permanent hire also carries BPJS Ketenagakerjaan employer contributions - JHT 3.7%, JP 2%, JKM 0.3%, JKK up to 1.74% - plus eventual stacked statutory severance (UP, UPMK and UPH) under the Omnibus Job Creation Law. A fractional CTO gives you the same seniority for 30 to 60% less, contracted company-to-company with none of that permanent load.

Jakarta businesses commonly struggle with: disconnected legacy systems limiting national rollout, OJK data and risk obligations for financial-sector firms, manual workflows consuming productive hours, difficulty evaluating vendors and avoiding lock-in, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, unclear technology budgets, and the gap between AI experimentation and operational integration. Our fractional CTOs address these with practical, cost-effective solutions designed for the Indonesian market.

Our fractional CTOs typically deliver initial value within two to four weeks through technology assessments, quick-wins identification, and priority problem solving. Major improvements such as system integrations, data governance remediation, or modernisation initiatives usually show measurable results within eight to twelve weeks. We focus on practical solutions that deliver near-term ROI while building long-term technology capability.

Consider a fractional CTO when your business is: making technology decisions without dedicated technical leadership, experiencing growth bottlenecks tied to legacy systems, facing OJK or sector compliance concerns, preparing for a raise or IDX listing, spending disproportionate time on manual processes, or professionalising a family group ahead of succession. A fractional CTO gives you strategic leadership immediately, contracted company-to-company, without the recruitment timeline, BPJS load, or Omnibus-Law severance of a permanent executive.
