About Me
I've spent over 30 years at the intersection of technology and business as a founder, CTO, architect and board member. I've built platforms from scratch, guided businesses through acquisition, integrated software companies after M&A and helped leadership teams make technology decisions that shaped their futures. That breadth of experience is what I bring to MULO Consulting.
What I do
I provide independent technology advisory, consultancy and fractional CTO services to boards, founders and executive teams. Whether you need a trusted voice in the boardroom, hands-on strategic support or someone to lead technology on a flexible basis, I work in the way that best fits your business.
Advisory
Independent, vendor-neutral guidance to boards, C-suites and executives on technology strategy, investment decisions and digital direction.
Fractional CTO
Senior technology leadership without the full-time cost. I embed with your team to drive strategy, align technology with business goals and provide the accountability that matters.
Consultancy
Practical, hands-on support across platform architecture, SaaS development, cloud migration, legacy modernisation and technology integration.
What I've done
Most recently, as a board member and CTO, I guided a business through a full ownership transition from PLC to private equity, to acquisition by a leading global fintech enterprise operating in over 40 countries. During that time I built a consultancy function from the ground up, established a scalable cloud platform and delivered technology advisory to Tier 1 banks and enterprise charities.
Prior to that, I held senior technology leadership roles across a range of businesses. Managing the integration of three acquired software platforms into a single solution, driving rapid growth and a successful acquisition at another and everything in between. Earlier in my career I founded my own software business, giving me the founder's perspective I bring to every client engagement today.
Across all of it, I've worked in proptech, fintech, healthtech and the charity sector. From startups finding their footing to enterprises managing global complexity.
What I'm known for
Technically:
- Supporting businesses through explosive growth
- Preparing technology estates for exit and acquisition
- Moving organisations from project-led to product-led thinking
- Building and scaling SaaS platforms with real commercial impact
- Providing boards with independent, clear-eyed technology oversight
- Navigating cloud migration, legacy modernisation and InfoSec including ISO27001, PCI DSS and OWASP
As a leader and advisor:
- Making complex technology simple. Ttranslating technical detail into clear, confident language that boards and business leaders can act on
- Inspiring and motivating teams to perform at their best, even through periods of significant change and uncertainty
- Building trust quickly with stakeholders at every level, from developers to directors
- Asking the right questions, not just providing the expected answers
- Bringing calm, considered thinking to high-pressure situations
- Knowing when to lead from the front and when to support from behind
Working with me
I'm based in Gloucestershire and work with businesses across the UK. Engagements are flexible - from a single advisory session to an ongoing fractional or interim arrangement. I don't come with vendor allegiances or pre-determined thinking. I come with experience, honesty and a genuine interest in helping your business succeed.
If you're facing a technology challenge or a strategic inflection point, I'd welcome a conversation.
