Amazing service!
My experience of Bill at Ask a CTO was great. I am not technology minded and just needed some guidance on where to start looking for a solution to my problem, and what questions to ask about relevant products. Bill’s communication was great from the outset, he was friendly and asked relevant questions, followed up with some really great advice and guidance.
It’s fantastic to have an opportunity to get expert advice from a CTO with Bill’s knowledge, particularly for someone starting out. Bill is very friendly, clearly enjoys working with startups and offering insight. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill’s service and look forward to speaking with him again.
ABOUT BILL
Business focussed technology professional
As a hands-on technology professional with over 20 years of experience in building and delivering leading-edge products I have seen the best and the worst that technology can offer to a business.
As a former entrepreneur and business owner I know first-hand the excitement of bringing an idea to market and the responsibility of meeting investor expectations.
I stand for a core, unrelenting principle that technology must serve the business and I have seen far too many examples where the reverse has taken hold and turned a dynamic, growing business into a confused and unprofitable one.
In truth technology solutions can be complicated but that should never serve as a brake on business growth. With the right people and dynamics in place, your technology can become a competitive advantage and stop being an expensive headache.
