Independent CTO & Tech Strategy Advisor

I support you in:

Services

Product Strategy

I work with you to sharpen your product mission, validate value propositions against real customer needs, and build a roadmap that aligns your team around a clear direction.

Technology Strategy

A coherent technology strategy ensures every engineer makes the right trade-offs daily. I help you define principles, standards, and a long-term vision that scales with your product and organisation.

Software Architecture

Poor architecture decisions compound over time. I review and improve your system design to support scalability, reliability, and the pace your team needs to ship with confidence.

Team Organisation

The right team structure is a force multiplier. I help you design engineering organisations that reduce coordination overhead, retain talent, and deliver consistently.

Software Development & Quality

Shipping software confidently requires more than good developers. I help you establish the processes, tooling, and engineering culture that make every release predictable and high quality.

Technical Due Diligence

Evaluating a software acquisition or investment? I give you an honest, expert assessment of architecture, code quality, team capability, and technical risk — so you can decide with full information.

About Me

Jan
Hi, I'm Jan — ex-CTO and co-founder of Wandelbots, where I scaled a VC-funded deep-tech startup from 5 to over 200 people. I bring that same hands-on leadership experience to your organisation as an independent advisor.

Interested?

I will be happy to help you.

Testimonials

Rüdiger Henke

CEO @ Sixonia GmbH

"Jan helped us raising out VC round and building our first engineering team. He is a great sparing partner for dealing wich investors."

Sophie Zorn

Produktmanager im Software Development Center @ Volkswagen AG

"Jan is an expert in his field, but also has valuable experience in founding startups, building teams and managing people. His ability to motivate people and create a productive working environment is admirable. His approach to effective teamwork and project management has not only led to successful results, but also to close and trusting relationships within the team. Jan has a high standard of quality in his own work. He continually strives for improvement and is always looking for ways to deliver projects more efficiently and effectively."

Rico Bartoshak

Principal Solution Architect @ Super Corp

"Jan has been a great inspiration to me. Before having joined Wandelbots, I was never directly involved in manufactoring or the processes that would take place on the "shop floor". Thanks to Jan I was able to gain a solid understanding of processes and standards involved. Working with him was a great inspiration and we would completely complement each other and critically give necessary input where required, challenging each others ideas and thoughts. I can only recommend Jan to any company that is looking for a Head of Engineering or similar roles. His work ethics as well as his management style will make sure your teams are motivated and products get delivered on time. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jan."

Stefan Hennig

CTO @ SQL AG

"It was really nice working with Jan. His insight and knowledge in the workings of a modern tech organisation helped us overcome several blockers."

Marko Lehmann

CTO @ Ambos Security GmbH

"Jan is one of the most anticipated and visionary colleague that I had the chance to work with during my career. During the four years that we worked and developed together his technicals skills were always valuable to create robust and flexible solutions. My expectations towards a CTO like having a clear vision and an overarching and predictive problem view were always exceeded. He is a key person for every company to establish technical cooperations, designing future proof, scalable software solutions and participate in discussions always with an eye on the detail to motivate any team to find the best solution."
