Interim, fractional, and advisory CTO leadership for PE-backed, public, and growth-stage companies. I’m Dave MacDonald — a technology operator with 20+ years as the primary technology voice to the board. At Nutrisystem (NTRI: Nasdaq) I helped grow revenue from $200M to $1.3B across two PE holds and exits. As interim CTO at Intelerad (HG Capital, $700M ARR) I consolidated seven global acquisitions and 300+ engineers across three continents into one operating model. At CereTax, a SOC 2 tax-compliance SaaS platform, I built governed agentic AI in production plus the AI-native SDLC that retired external contractor spend. I design and ship AI-native operating models that expand EBITDA and are built for production. I keep the practice deliberately small, so the person you meet is the person who does the work. Engagements: • Interim CTO — platform stabilization, post-M&A consolidation, and SDLC discipline under deadline pressure • Fractional CTO — ongoing board-level leadership without the full-time cost • Advisory & value creation — diligence and the post-close playbook for PE firms and their portfolios Atlanta · remote & on-site
