Technology leadership built for scale.

Chris Thomas, Fractional CTO and Scale-Up Technology Advisor

Chris Thomas — Fractional CTO & Scale-Up Technology Advisor.

Chris Thomas is a fractional CTO and technology advisor to venture-backed companies growing from $10M to $100M+ ARR.

He works with founders, CEOs and boards to align technology with commercial strategy — reducing execution risk, strengthening engineering capability, and building platforms that scale with the business.

Chris brings two decades of executive engineering leadership across enterprise commerce, marketplaces and high-traffic consumer platforms — including Just Eat, lastminute.com and eBay. Today he serves as fractional CTO to Movanex and partners with leadership teams navigating the same inflection points he has led through before.

His philosophy is straightforward: technology should be a driver of enterprise value, not a source of risk. That requires architecture, teams and processes designed with commercial outcomes in mind — and leadership willing to be accountable for them.
