Katherine Mora
Fractional CTO for SMBs & startups | Turn technology from growth bottleneck into competitive advantage | AI strategy
Bio
My goal: amplify the good in the world through technology. Your technology should enable growth. Instead, it's holding you back. You're stuck between no senior tech leadership to guide the right decisions, outdated systems that can't scale, and vendors who oversell. I've spent 20+ years across startups, SMBs, and S&P 500 companies in communications, healthcare, finance, retail, and more helping leaders make confident technology decisions without the overwhelm. Here's what's different about how I work: - I connect technology to business outcomes. You don't need to understand the code. You need to understand how your technology choices impact your ability to scale, operations, costs, and competitive advantage. - I protect your budget. I help you validate before you build, prioritise what actually matters, and avoid expensive mistakes that come from rushed technical decisions. - I focus on outcomes, not hours. Whether you need a 14-day technology roadmap, AI strategy and implementation, cloud transformation, or ongoing fractional CTO leadership, you get clear deliverables and measurable results. - I champion technology for good. If you're building solutions that address real-world problems (climate, accessibility, financial inclusion, ethical AI) I want to help you succeed. š Speaker: AWS, Imperial College, London Tech Leaders, IBM š Chapter Lead, Latinas in Tech London Ready to make technology work for you instead of against you? š Book a free 30-minute clarity call session. š Subscribe to my "Your Tech Edge" newsletter for fortnightly insights: https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7407836426148593664 š See what other founders say about working with us: https://youtu.be/XYeOVcP00Pg š Learn more about our journey and approach: https://youtu.be/jCZUuNRVTkk
