What I Do

From AI Ambition to Operating Reality

Clear scope. Defined timeline. Measurable outcomes.

Fractional CTO / CIO Leadership

Part-time, ongoing senior technology leadership — strategy, roadmap, architecture and team — for companies that need a seasoned CTO/CIO without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Interim & Transformation Cover

Full-time interim leadership to cover a gap, lead a transformation or stabilise delivery — deployed within two weeks, with enterprise and PE-scale experience behind every decision.

AI-Era Technology Strategy

Bring AI into the operating model the right way: governance, agentic delivery, cloud modernisation and operating-model redesign — so the platform can actually carry what you're building.

I also work with Revamp Advisors, a boutique advisory company alongside other high-profile ex-CIOs.

Operator-Proven at Scale

What Operating It Actually Looks Like

AI ambition is easy to declare. The proof is in the operating layer underneath it — the workforce redesigns, platform migrations, carve-outs and cost take-outs I have actually delivered at scale.
