Helping tech CEOs achieve their next critical milestone.

When the stakes are high and time is short, execution is everything.

I’m Adam McGowan.

I help tech CEOs turn complexity into momentum—especially when the next milestone can’t be missed.

As a fractional Chief of Staff and embedded execution partner, I work directly with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams to bring clarity, speed, and follow-through to their most important initiatives.

Whether launching new ventures, scaling operations, raising capital, or positioning for an exit—I translate big goals into measurable progress.

What I do

I work with ventures on terms that best fit their needs. When I embed myself within a team, I typically engage at a pace between one to four days a week for a duration of three months or more. My deliverables include some combination of…

Designing immediately-actionable implementation plans.
Aligning leadership around the timing, scope, and assets the plan requires.
Collecting and coordinating the resources needed to execute quickly and effectively.
Driving implementation, stepping in wherever needed to maintain momentum.
Creating and maintaining conditions for fast decisions and continuous progress.
Measuring what matters and iterating in response to new circumstances and data.
Following-through, delivering critical results with speed, clarity and confidence.
