About Tommy

I help scaling businesses fix their operations and build the technology to keep them fixed. I run iS3 Limited, a software and Ai consultancy, and act as CTO for TomCRM, an international CRM platform. Before that I spent fifteen years in manufacturing, aerospace and regulated industries.
What I typically deliver: Ai strategy and implementation, operational turnarounds, ISO gap analysis and certification readiness (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 42001), integrated management systems, process automation, and bespoke software builds. Recent projects include an Ai recommendation engine that delivered 200%+ productivity uplift for an e-commerce operation, a workplace mental health assessment platform, and Industry 4.0 rollouts in manufacturing.
Chartered Engineer, MBA, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, ISO 42001 Lead Implementer. I work best with founder-led businesses that have outgrown their manual processes but do not want to lose the pace that got them there. Available for interim, fractional or project-based engagements
