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.

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.

Fractional & Interim CTO/CIO — FAQ
What a fractional CTO/CIO actually is
What is a fractional CTO (or CIO)?
A fractional CTO/CIO is an experienced technology executive who works for your company part-time on an ongoing basis — leading strategy, architecture, delivery and team — instead of being a full-time hire. You get board-grade leadership scaled to what you actually need.
When should a company hire a fractional CTO instead of a full-time one?
When you need senior technology direction — a roadmap, an AI or modernisation programme, due diligence, or leadership for an existing team — but the role doesn't yet justify a full-time executive, or you need proven seniority faster than a permanent hire allows.
How does a fractional CTO/CIO engagement work?
Typically a retained, part-time arrangement scoped to your needs — a set number of days per month, with clear objectives and a defined cadence. Engagements flex up for an interim or transformation phase and down to steady-state advisory once the platform is stable.
What's the difference between a fractional and an interim CTO?
Interim is usually full-time leadership for a defined period (often 3–9 months) to cover a gap or lead a programme. Fractional is part-time, ongoing capacity. I take both, and engagements often start interim and step down to fractional.
How quickly can you start?
Within two weeks. Fractional and interim mandates are designed for speed — no lengthy onboarding before the work begins.
What scale of company do you work with?
From scale-ups to enterprise and PE-backed businesses. The track record runs to enterprise scale — €8B+ platform revenue, a 1,400-application cloud migration, two carve-outs — and that operating depth applies whatever the size of your team.
