Jack (Jörg) Godau
Technology leadership that delivers
Interim and fractional CTO for digital health, software companies and regulated industries. I take ownership of your technology: hands-on, compliant, and backed by 25+ years across Germany and Australia.
What I do for you
CTO on Demand: Interim/Fractional/Freelance
Leadership gap, growth phase or critical initiative: I step in and run it. Full-time for a defined period, or ongoing at 1 to 4 days per week.
Tech Due Diligence / Procurement
Reliable technical assessment for M&A and investments. Tenders and procurement: on the awarding side as well as the bidding side. Straight answers instead of 80 pages of fog.
Keynotes & Moderation
Talks and panel moderation on AI, digital health and tech leadership. Practice over buzzwords, proven at conferences and leadership events.
Network & Extra Hands
Need more than a CTO? I bring proven freelancers and consulting partners, support your recruiting, and open doors to technology vendors.
Experience in numbers
Who you are working with
I have moved medical practice software to the cloud, led 150 engineers as interim VP at CompuGroup Medical, built trusted-third-party systems for Germany's Federal Joint Committee (G-BA), and took a certified digital health product from zero to launch as CDO/CISO at doctorly. Since 2020 I have been bringing that experience directly to you as an interim and fractional CTO.
