A senior technical owner, without the full-time hire.
I don't just advise — I own the outcome. Strategy, architecture, and hands-on delivery from someone who's done it at E.ON, Experian, and as a founder. Boardroom in the morning, pull request in the afternoon.
A small number of finite engagements — not an on-call maintenance service.
The work, not the deck
Strategy & roadmap
A clear, prioritised technology and AI roadmap tied to your business goals — build-vs-buy calls, the right stack for your stage, and where AI genuinely earns its place.
Architecture & decisions
I make the expensive-to-get-wrong calls early and own them. System design, data, infrastructure, and the technical bets your business depends on.
Embedded leadership
I don't hand over a document and disappear. I'm in your standups, unblocking the team, reviewing code, and accountable for what ships.
Short cycles. Working software early.
We scope the problem in a conversation, I build, we review progress, and we repeat short cycles until it's live and useful. You see real output early — not status reports against a six-month plan.
Trusted with serious technical problems
Multi-year delivery leadership at E.ON (SAP migration) and Experian. Software for AstraZeneca, the NHS, McDonald's, Sky and UK Government. Currently fractional CTO for Global LT, leading an AI-powered language-learning platform — and I built and sold my own SaaS along the way.
£900/day
Retainers from £4,000/month for ongoing fractional CTO work. Day rate for defined projects and advisory. No hourly billing.
Useful reading before we talk: what a fractional CTO actually does, fractional CTO vs full-time vs consultant, and why startups fail at technical decisions.
