Interim/fractional CIO | CTO | Transformation Partner for Growth, Integration & Exit Readiness.
I work with boards, founders, and investors to turn technology, data, and operations into measurable enterprise value.
My background spans interim CIO/CTO roles across founder-led and investor-backed businesses, typically in the £5m–£75m turnover range, where technology complexity has outgrown leadership capacity or where growth, acquisition, or exit plans are being constrained by legacy systems, fragmented data, or underperforming digital capability.
I am most often engaged when organisations are facing one or more of the following:
Rapid growth without scalable systems
Pre-exit or pre-investment preparation
Post-acquisition integration or carve-out
ERP, data, or platform complexity creating operational drag
Board concern around technology risk, reporting, or cyber exposure
My approach is commercially led, not IT-led. I focus on outcomes that boards and investors care about: EBITDA improvement, risk reduction, reporting clarity, and execution certainty.
Typical Mandates
Interim CIO / CTO during growth, turnaround, or transition
Technology leadership for pre-sale readiness or due diligence
Post-merger integration (systems, data, operating model)
Digital and AI-enabled operating model redesign
ERP recovery, rationalisation, or replacement
Data, reporting, and management information uplift
How I Work
I operate as a hands-on executive partner, not a consultant producing slideware. I embed quickly, align technology decisions to commercial priorities, and leave behind a simplified, scalable operating model with clear ownership.
Where appropriate, I also support longer-term value creation initiatives alongside shareholders, including structured transformation roadmaps that extend beyond a single mandate.
