Two ways to work with us

Embedded leadership, or independent oversight.

Whether you need a hands-on executive inside the team or a trusted, independent set of eyes on a high-stakes initiative, Vibagentic meets you where the risk is.

Fractional Leadership

Fractional CTO & CPO

Part-time executive leadership embedded in your team — the strategy, judgement and delivery muscle of a senior CTO/CPO without a full-time hire.

  • Technology & product strategy and roadmaps
  • Team leadership, hiring & operating rhythm
  • Architecture, delivery & scaling decisions
  • Board & investor-ready reporting
  • AI & agentic product leadership — strategy, evaluation-driven delivery & responsible adoption
Best for: product companies and scale-ups shipping AI-enabled products who need senior leadership without a full-time hire.
Independent Assurance

Technology Assurance & Advisory

An independent technical conscience for your most important programs — surfacing unseen risk and aligning decisions before they become expensive.

  • Program & delivery assurance / health checks
  • Technical due diligence (buy-side & sell-side)
  • Architecture & vendor / build-vs-buy review
  • AI & agentic system assurance — governance, risk review & responsible adoption (NIST AI RMF-aligned)
  • Board & executive advisory on technology & AI
Best for: boards, investors and executives de-risking high-stakes technology, AI and high-spend initiatives.
Who we work with

Built for high-stakes decisions.

Different buyers, one need: trusted, independent, executive-level judgement when the cost of getting it wrong is high.

Product companies & scale-ups

Growing fast and shipping AI-enabled products — needing senior tech/product leadership, but not ready for, or not wanting, a full-time C-level hire.

Boards & investors

Backing a major program or deal and wanting independent assurance that the technology and delivery stack up.

Enterprise & public sector

Delivering complex, high-spend digital initiatives that must land on time and generate lasting value.

About

Your independent technology and AI conscience.

Andrew Paynter is the founder of Vibagentic. Over 20 years he has been Chief Technology Officer, VP of Technology and Director of Engineering for mission-critical SaaS platforms — most recently as CTO of Transmax, leading a 120-person organisation running Queensland's 24/7 intelligent transport platform and shaping transport strategy for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

His career spans VMware, Honeywell and SilverRail, delivering high-availability systems used by millions across Australia, the UK, Europe and the US. He holds an MBA and is a Graduate of the AICD (GAICD), and served as Non-Executive Director and FRAC Chair at ITS Australia — bringing board-level judgement to the technology decisions that matter most.

Vibagentic exists because major technology programs shouldn't fail from unseen risk, misaligned decisions or short-term thinking. We bring independent, executive-level clarity so leaders can build with confidence and deliver outcomes that last — increasingly, that means helping product companies adopt AI and agentic systems with the rigour these high-stakes decisions demand.
