Helping entrepreneurs and companies build better software and businesses.

Whether you need a fractional CTO, business advisor, or developer, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on experience in building SME businesses and the software that powers them. With over 25 years in the tech industry and more than a decade of experience as a CEO, board member, and chair, I bring deep expertise in governance, business development, software development, and IT systems.

What I help with

A senior sparring partner for business, software, and the practical work between them.

I work with entrepreneurs, boards, and teams who need calm judgment, technical understanding, and hands-on help moving from discussion to decisions and execution.

Strategy

Business development, governance, board work, and leadership sparring when choices need both experience and perspective.

Technology

Fractional CTO support from software direction & architecture to the actual coding using modern AI-agentic tools and practices.

Operations

SME systems and processes, IT architecture, financial administration, and practical operating rhythms such as OKRs that help teams lead, prioritize, and follow through.
