Summary
Bernie Kravitz is a veteran technology leader and Fractional CTO with 25+ years of experience helping startups and enterprises build AI-native products, modernize stacks, and scale teams for market readiness. He partners with founders and executive teams to make pragmatic, product-driven technology decisions—spanning architecture, vendor rationalization, AI governance, and developer tooling—to drive measurable business outcomes. Bernie led Everplans through nearly a decade of product and team building and helped negotiate a successful exit, and earlier served as CTO at GoWatchIt where his platform powered major media properties. He combines hands-on engineering chops from enterprise systems to Rails-based products with a knack for shaping culture and mentoring key people. Uncommonly for a technologist, Bernie brings a creative background—an MFA in fiction and years as an improv performer—which informs his user-focused design sensibility and collaborative leadership style. Based in New York, he now advises growth-stage companies on AI transformation and building cost-effective, high-impact engineering organizations.
