Fixing Tech & Product Orgs for Sustainable Scale
I create the necessary structure, clarity and the right processes so that your teams can deliver results again.
You're in the right place if:
- → Your tech team isn't delivering as fast as the business needs
- → You've lost confidence in tech execution
- → You're at a critical turning point (merger, growth, or restructuring)
- → Your tech & product leaders need guidance and support

My approach
My approach is pragmatic and transparent. It consists of two phases that can build on each other, but don't have to.
Tech & Product Org Health Check
We start with a fast yet deep analysis of your organization to find the root causes of your current challenges. At the end of this process, you will have a clear, prioritized plan with concrete next steps—no theoretical talk, but a practical roadmap.
This Health Check is offered as a fixed-price project, starting from €5,000.
What to Expect
- ✓ Analysis of structures, processes, and team dynamics
- ✓ Interviews with key stakeholders
- ✓ A clear report identifying the biggest levers for improvement
- ✓ Concrete and prioritized recommendations
Fractional Leadership & Advisory
Based on the analysis, I take on operational responsibility as your partner for a defined period to help implement the roadmap. As a Fractional CTO or strategic advisor, I ensure your Tech & Product organization becomes a stable and high-performing partner for the entire business.
What to Expect
- ✓ Packages customised to your needs
- ✓ Hands-on leadership on the right scale
- ✓ Strategic sparring with your management team
- ✓ Active support in the recruitment process
Testimonials

Michael Wendt
CEO Wentronic Group
I am very happy with the way our IT department is now set up again and thank you for the enormously important work that has brought us here. I am impressed by your ability to find a large number of highly qualified candidates for the various positions and to inspire them to join us. I felt that I was in good hands at all times. Under your leadership, our IT team had a competent contact person who provided orientation and structure and set an example. And you conveyed absolute reliability and security to both the team and me at all times.

Robin Behlau
Founder Aroundhome/Käuferportal, Fuchs & Eule/Valyria
I've known Thomas for over 13 years through multiple ventures. His ability to bring order to complexity while maintaining strategic vision is remarkable. At Käuferportal, he transformed our tech organization from a small team into a powerhouse that enabled rapid growth and successful exit. When starting Valyria, he was my first choice as CTO and co-founder. Thomas combines deep business understanding with technical excellence, but what truly sets him apart is his calm, intelligent approach to complex challenges. His thoughtful nature and loyalty make him an exceptional partner through both tough times and success.

Kaya Taner
Founder Honeypot, Applift
When I think of Thomas, I think reliability. He's detail-oriented, loyal, and always puts the team first. He's not one for grand gestures; he prefers delivering consistent, quality work. In every project, his dedication to the team's success is his standout trait. A genuine, indispensable asset.

Emma Tracey
Co-Founder Scéal, Honeypot
Thomas is one of the most detail-oriented people I know. At Honeypot, he led our complicated due diligence process during our acquisition. He led teams across the company, from IT to ops to complete the task. We couldn't have done it without him. If you are looking for a leader to bring structure to chaos, there is no better man than Thomas.
