About
I'm Alex Galey, engineer and entrepreneur. I work with SMEs as a fractional CTO: I take on their technical leadership part-time, so they move forward with the right decisions without hiring a full-time CTO.
Background
For ten years I have designed, built and led software projects. I've been a developer, a tech lead and then a CTO, before putting that experience at the service of several companies at once.
- Arts et Métiers engineer, also trained in computer science and programming at École 42.
- Ten years of designing, building and leading software projects.
- Fractional CTO for start-ups and SMEs: architecture, team and vendor leadership, DevOps, hiring.
- Partner of Twenty, the open-source CRM (1st place at Hacktoberfest 25 with the twenty-fireflies integration), and creator of Smart CRO, AI agents for sales teams.
How I work
I'm not a consultant who leaves a report behind. I build: I make the technical calls, steer teams and vendors, and get my hands in the code when needed. I also say when it's not the right time to invest, or when I'm not the right person.
My view of the role is detailed in the manifesto (in French).
Why SMEs
In an SME, a technical decision quickly commits the whole company, and there is rarely anyone in-house to challenge it. That's where a senior CTO's perspective has the most impact: laying solid foundations, choosing tools the company controls, and avoiding spending that serves no purpose.
