Dr. Claire Fautsch
CTO | Strategic & Hands-On | Mathematician at Heart
I build things, lead teams, and bridge the gap between tech and business. I use AI as my sparring partner to deliver better work, faster. Not to replace thinking, but to sharpen it.
I'm a hands-on tech leader with C-level experience who genuinely enjoys both coding and leading. I pick up new topics fast, go deep when needed, and always keep the bigger picture in sight. My background in mathematics trained me to think analytically, and my years in industry taught me to move quickly and pragmatically.
I'm a strong believer in AI as a force multiplier. I actively use it in my daily work - not as a replacement, but as a sparring partner that helps me deliver higher quality, faster. From prototyping to code reviews to strategic brainstorming, AI is part of my toolkit.
What sets me apart: I understand the business side just as well as the tech. I'm fluent in KPIs, stakeholder management, and the kind of cross-functional communication that turns good ideas into shipped products. I adapt my language to the audience, whether that's a board room, a dev team, or a customer call.
I ramp up quickly on new domains, technologies, and business contexts. Curiosity is my engine. I dive deep, connect the dots, and start contributing fast.
I actively leverage AI to boost productivity and quality. It's my sparring partner for code, architecture decisions, and creative problem-solving.
I love getting stuff done. I balance quality with speed, and I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves, whether it's writing code, debugging production, or unblocking a team.
I speak both tech and business. I manage stakeholders, understand KPIs, navigate politics, and bring people together across functions and seniority levels.
I thrive under pressure. Restructurings, firefighting, tight deadlines, I bring calm, structure, and momentum when things get chaotic.
Board meetings, engineering deep-dives, customer calls: I adjust my communication to the audience and make sure everyone leaves aligned.
Thesis: Domain Specific Information Retrieval
I'm open for consulting engagements, small development projects, and technical advisory. Whether you need help setting up or scaling a tech organisation, a sparring partner for architectural decisions, someone to build a prototype fast, or hands-on support navigating a tricky technical challenge, let's talk.
