Sparring for existing teams
Many companies have a CTO, a head of IT or a strong engineering team. What's often missing is an independent second opinion that isn't tied to a vendor or product. Philipp Kohnen works with your technical leadership, not around it – as a peer who still writes code and runs systems himself.
Interim technical leadership
Small and mid-sized companies often have no technical leadership of their own but make technical decisions all the time. As an interim or fractional CTO, Philipp Kohnen brings structure: an inventory of what exists, a roadmap, selecting and steering service providers, security and operations basics – and, if you want, preparing a permanent hire.
Frequently asked questions
Is the advice vendor-neutral?
Yes. Philipp Kohnen receives no commissions from software or cloud vendors. Recommendations follow your needs, with a preference for open standards and low lock-in.
How big is a consulting engagement?
Anything from a single workshop on a specific decision to regular sparring to interim technical leadership over several months.
Does Philipp Kohnen also implement the recommendations?
