Florian Gamper, Interim CTO

Is technology slowing your growth?

You have the vision, but execution is lagging. Product velocity is stalling, innovation is blocked, and investors are asking tough questions.

It's not just about technology. It's about people, process, and clear direction. I bridge the gap between business goals and engineering reality.

How I Work

I don't run tech, I fix leverage.

That means finding the real problem, being direct about it, focusing on what creates multiplicative impact, and leaving you stronger than I found you.

What Others Say

Florian is an excellent tech leader. He is not only one of the smartest most knowledgeable professionals I have worked with, but also a great human being. A true unicorn in our tech world. I cannot recommend him enough. Florian was like the basketball coach you all wished you had to get the team to win the game. Not telling you what you need to be doing or micromanaging, but getting everyone in the same direction. He has been the best leader for me to grow and develop myself. In a difficult situation, he made a remarkable job of getting people to smile again, making the roles of each person clear, simplifying our tech stack and gaining superb knowledge of the product in a short time. As a venture investor, I have relied on Florian for multiple technical due diligences from Pre-Seed to Series A. His assessments are candid, efficient, minimally disruptive for teams, and highly actionable for both founders and investors.

About Florian

With a background as CTO across startups, scaleups, and corporates, I bring a rare combination: engineering depth I've never lost, product instinct, and business acumen. From venture building at BCG Digital Ventures and Oetker Digital to driving AI-based transformations, I understand what it takes at every stage.

My approach is rooted in three principles: clarity over complexity, responsibility over delegation, and execution over endless planning. I believe in calm leadership that creates space for teams to do their best work.

Based in Berlin, I work with organizations across Europe. Whether it's stabilizing a crisis, scaling for growth, or navigating transformation, I focus on what matters: helping you make the right decisions at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between interim and fractional leadership? Interim management is full-time, typically 4-5 days per week, for a defined period during transitions, crises, or major transformations. Fractional engagement is part-time, usually 1-2 days per week, providing ongoing strategic guidance without the commitment of a full-time hire. Both models offer experienced executive leadership tailored to your current needs. How quickly can you start an engagement? Depending on current commitments, I can typically begin within 2-4 weeks. For urgent situations requiring immediate intervention, expedited starts are possible. The initial phase focuses on rapid assessment to understand context, challenges, and quick-win opportunities. What industries do you work with? I work across industries rather than specializing in one vertical. This diverse background brings fresh perspectives and proven patterns from multiple sectors including e-commerce, mobility, media, B2B SaaS, and corporate digital ventures. The focus is on technology and product challenges that transcend industry boundaries. How do you handle confidentiality? Confidentiality is fundamental to my work. I operate under strict NDAs and never discuss client specifics publicly without explicit permission. Many of my most impactful engagements remain undisclosed precisely because the situations required discretion. Trust is earned through actions, not words. Do you work with VC or PE-backed companies? Yes, frequently. I understand the specific dynamics of investor-backed companies: board expectations, funding milestones, growth pressures, and exit considerations. Whether it's preparing for Series B, managing post-acquisition integration, or building investor-grade technology practices, I've navigated these contexts repeatedly. Can you help with technical hiring? Absolutely. Building and leading engineering teams is a core part of what I do. This includes defining roles, establishing hiring processes, conducting technical interviews, and creating compelling employer propositions. I help you find not just skilled individuals, but the right cultural fits for your team. What happens after the engagement ends? Successful engagements are designed to end. The goal is always to build sustainable capabilities within your organization, not to create dependency. This means developing internal leaders, establishing processes that work without me, and ensuring a clean handover. Many clients maintain advisory relationships for occasional strategic input. What does a typical engagement look like? Engagements typically follow a structured approach: Assess (understand the situation), Align (establish direction), Execute (implementation in 90-day cycles), and Transfer (ensure sustainable handover). Duration ranges from 3 months for focused interventions to 18+ months for comprehensive transformations. How do you approach AI and automation? AI is a tool, not a strategy. I help organizations identify where AI creates real leverage and where it doesn't. When it fits your team, processes, and goals, the impact can be significant. But not every problem needs AI. I help you choose wisely.
