Chad W.
Coffman
I'm a fractional CTO for PE-backed, multi-site companies — typically $10M to $200M in revenue — working through post-acquisition integration and growth. Over fifteen years I've led technology strategy across energy, healthcare, biotech, distribution, and software, and built engineering teams of ninety-plus across three continents. The job, as I see it, is regulating the rate of change: modernizing what blocks growth without breaking what works, at a pace and spend the board can verify.
I learned flow control on Class V whitewater long before I applied it to a data pipeline. SEE THE OTHER RÉSUMÉ →
