I help private equity teams fix the tech side of the deal.
I sit between your deal team and the portfolio company. Tech due diligence in two weeks, a written 100-day plan, and a fractional CTO seat if you need someone to actually run it. Founder of DevriX (16 years, 50-person engineering firm), six companies started, two exited, 400+ executives advised — with the DevriX bench on call when the work needs hands.
Why PE firms hire me
Most diligence reports tell you what's broken. They don't tell you how to fix it, who should fix it, or what it will cost. I do both — I write the report, then stay on to run the first 100 days if you want me to.
What's usually missing
One person who can read the code review on Monday and run the engineering team on Tuesday. You usually get a consultant or a dev shop — not both.
What you get with me
Senior judgment on the diligence call, a clear 100-day plan, and the DevriX team behind me when the work needs hands on keyboards.
Founder of DevriX, 16 years building a 50-person engineering firm. Six companies founded, two exited. 400+ executives advised. Enterprise training for VMware, SAP, CERN, and Saudi Aramco. Two books referenced across 50+ universities. 30,000 executives read the weekly briefing.

How we work together

When the work needs hands, the DevriX team picks it up — same people, same standards, no handoff.
