Fractional Tech Leadership
More Than Theory embeds senior technology leadership into your organization — to drive AI adoption, untangle complexity, and get things built.
What I do
I work across the full stack of technology leadership — from strategy and architecture to implementation and team building.
From strategy to production. I evaluate opportunities, select the right models and frameworks, and integrate AI into your product and operations — without the hype.
Senior technical leadership embedded in your team part-time. I set direction, mentor engineers, remove blockers, and drive accountability — without the full-time overhead.
Modernize legacy systems, adopt cloud-native architecture, and re-engineer processes. I focus on outcomes, not methodology — and I actually ship.
Comprehensive assessments for investors and acquirers. I audit codebases, infrastructure, team capability, and technical debt — before the deal closes.
Systems that perform under pressure. I design for scale, resilience, and maintainability — so your platform grows with your business instead of against it.
Level up your engineering organization with hiring strategies, delivery frameworks, and culture practices drawn from decades of real leadership experience.
Who I am
More Than Theory is me — Alex Rudloff. I've spent decades building products, teams, and companies across media, sports tech, AI, and education. I bring the rare combination of strategic vision and hands-on execution.
I don't deliver slide decks and disappear. I join your standups, review your pull requests, and sit in your strategy meetings — and I scale the engagement to match your stage and goals.

A deep-dive into your business, technology stack, team dynamics, and goals. I find where leadership will have the highest impact.

I define scope, success metrics, and communication cadence. You get a clear roadmap before anything else happens.
03
I integrate with your team, drive initiatives, and remove blockers. The goal is always to build organizational capability that outlasts the engagement.
04
As your needs change, I adapt — scaling involvement up or down, transitioning to advisory, or helping you hire a full-time replacement.
