Talk it through →How engagements work
Most clients start in one of three ways:
- Assessment. A fixed-fee review of your systems, data, security and AI readiness, with a written roadmap you can act on with or without me.
- Project. A defined outcome with a defined price: an AI rollout, a private AI deployment, a platform consolidation, a migration.
- Fractional leadership. A standing seat as your CTO or CIO, a set number of days each month, accountable for the roadmap, the vendors and the team.
I've led technology for companies I co-founded and run, and consulted on hundreds of projects across aviation, healthcare, ecommerce, financial services, hospitality and SaaS. I architect your technology like it's my own company on the line, because for most of my career it was.
