Services

Most growing companies need someone senior making technology decisions long before they can justify a full-time executive. I join your leadership team for a set number of days each month and take responsibility for the technology side of the business.

• A technology plan that follows the business plan, and saying no to the projects that don't fit it
• Hiring and managing developers, and choosing and overseeing agencies
• Reviewing what you spend on software and which vendors are worth keeping
• Architecture and security that will hold up as you grow
• Straight answers for owners, boards, lenders and buyers
• Finding and onboarding a full-time CTO when you outgrow me

Before you buy a business, I look at the systems it runs on: software, data, integrations, security, and how much depends on people who might leave. Most smaller businesses don't have much technology risk. They have a lot of room to improve, and it helps to know how much before you set the price.

• A review of the software, data and infrastructure, and who owns what
• Risks to raise before closing, and what fixing them will cost
• Where automation and AI could realistically help after you take over
• A written report, and a call with you and your deal team

I design and build systems that run day to day. Typical projects replace hours of copy-and-paste, get reporting out of spreadsheets, or connect tools that don't talk to each other.

• AI agents for things like document processing, inbox triage and customer follow-up
• Data pipelines and a single source of truth for reporting
• Dashboards the owner actually looks at
• CRM, email and SMS automation
• Integrations between the systems you already use, and moving off old ones

A business that runs without its owner sells for more. If a sale is a few years out, the same work that makes it easier to run (documented processes, clean data, fewer manual steps) is what a buyer will look for.
