Services
Engagements range from a few days of focused advisory to a sustained interim mandate. Each one is built around a measurable outcome — not a fixed methodology or a body of resources to keep busy.
How we work together
Full-time senior leadership for a defined period — covering a vacancy, leading a programme, or steadying a function through change. Typically three to twelve months.
A standing senior presence at a fraction of a full-time role — a day or two a week — giving smaller organisations board-grade technology leadership they could not otherwise justify.
Sharp, time-boxed input on a specific question: a strategy to pressure-test, a deal to shape, a board paper to challenge, or a programme to review and reset.
Capabilities
Credible CDO, CTO and IT director cover when you need an experienced hand at the table — through transition, vacancy, acquisition or crisis. I lead from day one, stabilise the function, and leave it stronger than I found it.
A clear, commercially grounded view of where technology should take the business — and what to do first. I work from outcomes back to capability, separating the genuinely strategic from the merely fashionable, AI included.
Designing how technology is organised, sourced and governed to deliver the strategy — structure, capabilities, sourcing, and the governance to run it. Practical models the organisation can actually adopt.
Shaping, recovering and leading complex change so the business can absorb it. From programme rescue to merger integration and business separation, I focus on the people and process realities, not just the technology.
Where digital twins, IoT, AI and operational technology genuinely earn their keep in asset-heavy, regulated industries — and where they don't. Strategy and proof grounded in how these sectors really operate.
For technology and services businesses selling into utilities and industry: proposition design, strategic bid shaping, and partner ecosystem development — drawn from a career closing £5m–£50m+ engagements.
Independent, sector-literate technology perspective at board and committee level — NED and advisory roles, plus targeted support to existing boards on digital risk, investment and capability.
