I bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and technology that works

With over 25 years in technology leadership across public and private sectors, I’ve developed a unique understanding of how businesses work, so I’ve always focused on technology that drives real results. I’ve guided everything from website builds to UK wide system rollouts, helping organisations of all sizes align their technology investments with business goals. After working across this spectrum, I discovered my passion for working with ambitious SMEs. They face unique challenges—too many tools that only do bits of what they need but are not ready for enterprise-level solutions. That’s where I found my sweet spot.

I created CTO Slice after noticing a persistent gap in the market. Growing businesses often reach a technology crossroads where key decisions fall to business leaders who understand their core business but struggle with the technology that changes so fast or to technical staff who lack a strategic business perspective. The result? Inefficient systems, wasted investments, and technology that holds you back instead of driving growth. CTO Slice offers “a smarter slice of CTO thinking” tailored specifically for SMEs—strategic technology guidance precisely when you need it, without the full-time cost.

I believe technology should serve your business goals, not the other way around. I won’t recommend complex systems when simpler options work better. What sets me apart is operating comfortably at both ends—discussing strategy with leadership and then working hands-on with technical teams to ensure delivery. I bridge the gap between business vision and technical execution, turning boardroom promises into working systems that deliver measurable business value. I provide clear, jargon-free guidance. I’m not interested in technology for its own sake; I help you use technology to solve real business problems.
