Interim / Fractional Technical Leadership
FelixSchallerCOM provides interim and fractional technical leadership for autonomy and AI organizations, as well as PE-backed portfolio companies. I step in as a pragmatic technical lead (e.g., Fractional CTO / VP Engineering / Chief Architect) to bring focus, structure, and momentum: aligning product and engineering, strengthening architecture and delivery, de-risking critical programs, and building the operating system your team needs to ship reliably and scale.

What we do
Interim leadership that turns strategy into shipped outcomes
I help leadership teams translate priorities into an executable plan and a delivery cadence that works. Typical engagements include stabilizing the roadmap, clarifying ownership, improving engineering velocity and quality, and making technical decisions that withstand scale and safety requirements. You get senior leadership support without a long hiring cycle — with clear accountability, measurable progress, and a smoother path from prototype to production.
