About Romain

I’m a Fractional CTO & AI Automation Specialist with 25+ years of experience turning complex technical challenges into scalable business outcomes. As a 5x CTO, 2x founder and former CEO, I’ve built and scaled API-first platforms, led distributed teams, and supported founders through funding and due diligence.

I built Utelly (content discovery/search/recommendations) and exited via acquisition by Synamedia. More recently I helped build Fit Collective’s ML optimisation platform and supported fundraising ($1m).

I can help you:
  • Define a pragmatic tech strategy + roadmap
  • Design scalable architecture (data, APIs, MLOps)
  • Build AI features (recommendations, automation, analytics)
  • Prepare for investor/technical due diligence and M&A
  • Hire/mentor tech leads, heads of Engineering and scale an engineering team
If you want a CTO who bridges product, engineering, and commercial outcomes, let’s talk.
