CTO

Working on a fractional basis with a small portfolio of early and growth stage tech businesses, I provide people-first technical leadership and strategic insight.The fractional model works well for organisations that need strategic technology leadership without the overhead of a full-time CTO. It minimises risks and maximises effectiveness, guiding startups through crucial decisions and technological transitions.I'm driven by outcomes not doctrines, and take a pragmatic approach to align technical and commercial strategy. From idea to exit, I guide the business to implement the right systems and processes to maximise innovation for their unique circumstances and stage of growth.

ADvisor

Through fixed scope engagements with executive teams and their investors, I provide practical and impartial advice.For businesses undergoing change, and seeking a fresh perspective, I bring insight to develop new strategies and boost innovation.I'm well connected and experienced. With over 25 years leading the way with new technological, commercial, and managerial initiatives all over the world, I have a diverse and extensive network to draw on.

Mentor

I've always sought out influential mentors through my career, and in return I provide mentorship and guidance to others.Through formal mentorship programmes, and informal direct relationships, I share my experiences and natural curiosity to learn with technical leaders and founders.I've been fortunate to experience a wide range of businesses, in many countries, and across many sectors. I have thrived on the exposure to many different cultures and approaches, and have learned many lessons that can be applied in novel ways. I enjoy sharing my experiences and helping others to find their way.
