Technology Executive

I start by
listening.

I’m Chris B. Tillotson. My services include fractional leadership, workflow and operational analytics, rapid prototyping with AI and technical due diligence.

In my experience, every successful engagement starts with listening. I want to understand the challenge, problem or opportunity in front of you. What forces are helping you move forward, and what forces are impeding progress? Most of all, I want to understand in high definition what success looks like for you and how I can add value.

I build clarity by drawing on more than 30 years of leadership and hands-on experience in software development, data engineering and analytics.

How I can help

Fractional leadership

I work with leadership teams to set technology strategy, develop product roadmaps and lead software and analytics initiatives through delivery.

Workflow and operational analytics

I work with your team to understand and define workflows. Together, we choose metrics that reveal bottlenecks and help improve throughput.

Rapid prototyping with AI

I use AI to build working prototypes quickly, iterate and establish consensus and value in short time cycles.

Technical due diligence

I evaluate software, data systems or a proposed build to identify risks and prioritize opportunities.

About

Chris B. Tillotson

Founder & Principal

I’ve built a software company from startup through acquisition, led software, IT and engineering teams in clean energy and developed innovative and impactful analytics in the fintech space. I’ve done that work as a CTO, Chief Project Officer and EVP of Analytics.

Across those roles, the work I’ve enjoyed most has been building teams, software and analytics that materially add value to organizations.

Coding is often the easier part of a project. Success relies on communicating clearly, having difficult conversations and building consensus.
