Services
Senior IT leadership, scaled to what you actually need.
Five ways to engage — from an ongoing seat at the table to a single, sharply-defined project. Every engagement is built around clarity: what we’re fixing, how we’ll know it worked, and what it costs.
01 — RETAINER
Fractional CIO & IT Director
A standing seat at your leadership table for a few days a month. I own the IT strategy, set and defend the budget, manage your key vendors, and translate technology into plain commercial language for the board. You get the judgement of a director without the salary, recruitment risk, or notice period.
02 — INTERIM / PROJECT
Interim & Project Leadership
Cover a sudden gap, or take a defined programme from chaos to done — an ERP or cloud migration, an office move, a systems consolidation after growth, or a turnaround when delivery has stalled. Fixed scope, clear milestones, and a leader who has carried these programmes before.
03 — SECURITY
vCISO & Cyber Security
A virtual Chief Information Security Officer for organisations that need the function but not the headcount. Risk assessment and a prioritised roadmap, security policy that people will actually follow, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 readiness, supplier assurance, and incident preparedness — so the next client questionnaire or audit is a formality, not a fire drill.
04 — AI
AI & Microsoft Copilot Adoption
AI that earns its place. I help you choose the few use cases that genuinely save hours, roll out Microsoft Copilot and related tools with the right governance and data controls, and bring your team with you — so adoption sticks and the productivity gain is real rather than theoretical.
05 — M&A
Technical Due Diligence & M&A Integration
For acquirers and investors: a clear-eyed read on a target’s IT estate, the risks hiding in it, and what integration will really cost. Then, once the deal closes, hands-on leadership of the post-merger technology integration. Drawn from direct experience as a core team member through a private-equity transaction and multiple corporate acquisitions.
How engagements work
Three simple ways to buy.
Monthly retainer
A set number of days each month for ongoing leadership. Predictable, and easy to scale up or down.
Fixed-scope project
A defined programme with milestones and a fixed price. You know the cost and the outcome up front.
Advisory day
A single focused day to pressure-test a decision, review a roadmap, or sanity-check a supplier.

Tell me where the pressure is. I’ll tell you, honestly, whether I’m the right person to help.
