Problems I help solve
Delivery predictability & velocity
Make planning, prioritisation, flow and accountability visible enough to improve delivery.
Software development lifecycle
Connect engineering practices, quality, release flow and operational feedback into a dependable SDLC.
Technology direction
Turn technical complexity and business priorities into a direction the team can act on.
First 30 days
A delivery baseline the team can keep using.
The first month is used to make the current system legible and agree practical next steps. The exact scope is shaped around the situation and the people involved.
Minimum engagement: 20 hours per month. Scope and pricing are agreed together.
01

03
90-day plan
A prioritised direction for the next quarter, including what to address now, later or not yet.

Weekly operating cadence
A regular check-in rhythm to review progress, unblock decisions and adjust as the team learns.
Choosing the right support
Choose this when the leadership need is real, but the role is still taking shape.
A fractional engagement can provide senior direction while the organisation clarifies its operating need. It is not a substitute for a permanent executive role or for a narrowly defined specialist assignment.
Fractional CTO
Choose this when the work crosses technology direction, delivery and team operating model, and you need an experienced partner while you establish the next phase.
Useful for: transitions, unclear ownership, delivery constraints and an evolving leadership mandate.
Full-time CTO hire
Choose this when the organisation is ready to make a long-term executive commitment with enduring accountability for people, strategy and outcomes.
Useful for: a stable, continuing mandate that needs dedicated executive ownership.
Specialist consultant
Choose this when the problem is bounded and specialist expertise is the main need, such as an assessment, architecture review or defined implementation.
Useful for: a narrow question with a clear scope, deliverable and handover.
