Description

I'm a seasoned fractional CTO who specializes in helping high-growth SaaS and fintech companies navigate the challenges of rapid scale. My focus is on turning technology from a cost center into a powerful engine for business value and sustainable growth.

What I bring to the table

I go beyond typical tech leadership. My unique added value lies in my ability to deliver tangible, bottom-line results through strategic cost optimization and operational efficiency. I have a proven track record of:

Scaling: Building and scaling technical teams from scratch to over 400 staff and implementing Agile frameworks to achieve rapid development velocity.

Cost Savings: Orchestrating initiatives that have led to millions in cost savings, including a £1.7M reduction in monthly burn, £5M in cloud infrastructure savings, and a 45% reduction in overall technology costs.

Innovation: Spearheading digital transformations and pioneering in-house AI-driven anti-fraud mechanisms to improve efficiency and reduce third-party vendor costs.

Deliverables: I handle everything from architecting scalable cloud solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure), to managing M&A tech integration, to defining product roadmaps and negotiating vendor contracts.

I'm ready to help you accelerate your business, optimize your technology function, and build a competitive advantage.
