Sigurður Guðbrandsson - Founder & Fractional CTO

Based in Reykjavík, Iceland, I'm a seasoned CTO with a proven track record of driving technological innovation and business growth. As fractional CTO for Clockwork's clients and full-time CTO at Travelshift/Guide to Iceland, I've helped transform businesses into market leaders.

My approach combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical expertise. I don't just create PowerPoints - I architect systems, optimize infrastructure, mentor teams, and drive implementations that deliver measurable business value. Whether that's reducing infrastructure costs by half, scaling systems for 10x growth, or mentoring teams of 100+ developers, I focus on outcomes that matter.

As your fractional CTO, I bring this same level of expertise and commitment to your business. You get executive-level technical leadership, strategic guidance, and hands-on implementation support - all without the overhead and commitment of a full-time hire.
