Someone who owns IT at board level. Without the full-time salary.

I work with businesses of 50 to 500 people as their fractional Head of IT. Strategy, cyber security, suppliers and board reporting, handled properly and explained in plain English.

When this fits

Colleagues reviewing plans around a table

IT is running, but nobody is steering it

Your MSP keeps the lights on, or a stretched IT manager keeps up with tickets. Nobody owns the direction.

The board asks questions you can't answer

Are we secure? Are we overspending? What should we do next? You need answers you can stand behind.

Something is about to change

An insurance renewal, an audit, an acquisition or a sale. IT suddenly matters, and it needs to be in order.

Three ways to work together

Cyber and technology posture review

Fixed price, fixed scope

I look at your security, suppliers, licences and risks, and give you a short report with costs to fix. Useful before insurance renewal, an audit, or an acquisition.

Fractional Head of IT

One to three days a week

I own the roadmap, manage your suppliers, report to the board and lead your team. Senior ownership of IT, without the full-time salary.

Portfolio IT audits and due diligence

For investors and acquirers

If you own several businesses, or you're buying them, I review the IT and cyber position of each one in the same way, so you can compare them side by side.

For investors and acquirers

Whether you're buying, holding or preparing to sell, IT is part of the value of the business. I give you a clear, comparable view of where each company stands and what it will cost to put right.

I can also act as the independent technology adviser across the group, holding each business's IT suppliers to account.

  • A scorecard across your portfolio, showing where each business stands
  • The top risks in each business, with the cost to fix them
  • A reusable due diligence checklist, so every future acquisition is assessed the same way before and after completion
  • A view of where IT will help or hurt value when you come to sell
