Clement L.

Fractional CTO for companies who need clarity, speed, and scale.

I'm a fractional CTO and AI implementation consultant with roots in management consulting at Deloitte and hands-on operating experience as a technology executive.

I've built technology organizations from scratch twice, scaling teams, achieving SOC 2 Type II certification, leading cloud migrations, and navigating a ransomware crisis. My background spans FinTech, real estate, and government, all in regulated environments.

Now I work with founders on strategy, compliance readiness, AI adoption, and building teams that ship; bringing an operator's perspective to a consulting model.

MBA (SFU), BSc Computer Science (UBC), CISM, PMP, AWS Solutions Architect Professional.
