Virtual CIO & Innovation Leadership

Senior technology direction, embedded in your organisation — without the cost of a full-time CIO.

You get an executive partner who sets the technology vision, builds the roadmap, oversees vendors, and represents tech in the boardroom. Best for organisations with growing complexity but no senior tech leader yet.

Typical engagements:

  • Fractional CIO (1–4 days/month)
  • Innovation strategy & roadmap design
  • Vendor and platform selection
  • Board-level technology advisory

Good fit if you…

  • Need senior tech direction but can't justify a full-time hire
  • Are about to undertake a digital transformation
  • Have plateaued with current vendors and need an honest second opinion
  • Want to embed innovation as a capability — not a project

Stack & capabilities

  • Web: React, Next.js, TypeScript
  • Mobile: iOS, Android, React Native
  • Backend: Node, PHP, Python
  • Cloud: AWS, Azure
  • Data: MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
02 · Build

Custom Software & AI Integration

Production-ready web, mobile, and AI-powered solutions — designed, built, and shipped by senior engineers.

We build the way mature product teams build: small senior squads, modern stacks, continuous deployment, and observability from day one. No prototypes that can't scale.

What we ship:

  • Custom web applications & portals
  • Native and cross-platform mobile apps
  • AI-powered features and integrations
  • Cloud architecture & modernisation
03 · Innovation

Innovation Solution Development

From the first whiteboard to a validated product in market.

Most innovation projects die in the gap between "good idea" and "shipped product." We close that gap with a structured discovery → prototype → MVP → live workflow, validated against real users at every step.

Phases:

  • Discovery & problem framing
  • Concept design & user testing
  • Rapid prototyping
  • MVP build & market validation
  • Scale & commercialise

Proof in market

We've used this exact process to ship the C4C Collect platform (iAwards winner), WhistleIQ, UMPY, and BikeBookings (acquired 2021).

Sectors we know deeply

  • Sport & officiating (WhistleIQ, UMPY)
  • Sustainability & circular economy (Containers for Change)
  • Community & member-based organisations
  • Regulatory compliance & reporting
04 · Sector-focused

B2B & B2C Sector Solutions

Purpose-built platforms for the sectors we know deeply.

When we've shipped multiple products in your space, we don't start from zero. You get the benefit of patterns, components, and integrations we've already validated — at a fraction of the build time.

05 · AI/ML

Machine Learning & Responsible AI

ML models that ship — with governance, monitoring, and reproducibility built in.

Led by Mark Tuttle (Master's in Applied AI, Big Four background), our ML practice focuses on production-grade systems: not notebooks, not demos. We integrate AI where it actually changes outcomes for users.

Capabilities:

  • Predictive modelling & forecasting
  • NLP & document understanding
  • LLM integration & agents
  • MLOps: deployment, monitoring, governance

Stack

  • Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch
  • Docker, Kubernetes
  • AWS SageMaker, Azure ML
  • LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models

When this fits

  • Cloud migration / re-platforming
  • Legacy system modernisation
  • Operating model redesign
  • Board-level digital strategy reviews
06 · Advisory

Advisory & Digital Transformation

Pragmatic guidance for boards and execs navigating big technology decisions.

You don't always need a build partner — sometimes you need a senior thinking partner. We bring the same depth, just dialled to the level of strategy, governance, and decision-making.

How we engage

Three ways to work with us.

Sprint engagement

2–6 week focused engagement to solve a specific problem: discovery, audit, prototype, or strategy reset. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Project build

Full-cycle product build: from discovery to launch. Senior squad, weekly demos, production from day one. Typical 3–9 months.

Embedded retainer

Ongoing fractional leadership and capacity. Virtual CIO + senior engineering on tap, scaled up or down as you need.
