Romain TordoRomain Tordo
Independent practice

Fractional CTO, cybersecurity, and business systems for leadership teams that need senior technical judgment.

I help owners and executives make durable technology decisions—then ship the internal software and security posture that match how your operations actually run.

Active across the United States, France, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Japan—remote-first with on-site when the work requires it.

Not a generic agency retainer. A senior operator who can sit with leadership, audit reality on the ground, and carry decisions through architecture, vendors, and delivery.

Case studies

Proof of delivery and advisory work—separate from service categories. Representative engagements where confidentiality limits specifics are labelled clearly.

Capabilities

Capability pages spell out how technical work is scoped across advisory, security, and delivery—complementing services and case studies.

Why teams bring me in

  • Executive translation: connect board questions to concrete technical trade-offs and costs.
  • Operational realism: design systems around field constraints—not slide decks.
  • Security without theatre: identity, backups, segmentation, and recovery paths you can exercise.
  • Delivery ownership: from vendor selection through to working software in production.
