The FODcast

Is Fractional Hiring the Key to Composable Success? | FODcast Bonus Episode with Gareth Nutt

August 13, 2024 Tim Roedel and James Hodges Season 6

In the first of our FODcast ‘shorts’ with CEO, Tim Roedel, we’re excited to bring you a great discussion on the rising trend of fractional hiring with highly experienced Digital Leader, and Fractional CTO, Gareth Nutt.


In our chat with Gareth, we explore the rise of fractional executive leadership in digital transformation projects, and in particular, how mid-market companies are leveraging fractional CTOs, COOs, and CFOs to affordably access top-tier expertise. 

We discuss the shift from monolithic to composable architectures, highlighting the challenges and benefits for businesses - and the skills and talent needed to effectively manage complex systems and successfully leverage new technologies, - without the expense of full-time senior roles.

🔍 Other Discussion Highlights:

  • The rising demand for fractional CTOs and CMOs to navigate complex digital landscapes - and where this trend is heading
  • The reality behind the composable architecture 'dream' for mid-market companies
  • The importance of experienced leadership in managing and optimising new technologies
  • The strategic value of fractional hires in making sophisticated digital systems work efficiently

It's a great discussion, especially if you find yourself at the start of a composable journey within a mid-market business.
