Senior judgement, hands-on delivery.
I've spent 27 years founding, running and delivering software solutions for organisations across the UK and internationally — from a proprietary ERP platform integrated with Sage, Access Accounts and Oracle Financials, to the operational systems that run a live hospitality business today. I work confidently with boards, finance leaders, suppliers and delivery teams: assessing legacy estates, designing pragmatic target solutions, de-risking migrations, and restoring delivery momentum when projects stall. Available now for remote-first consultancy as a Solution & Migration Consultant, Fractional IT Leader or Technical Delivery Lead, with travel where face-to-face work adds real value.
Where I add the most value.
Systems Modernisation
Legacy application review, target architecture, integration strategy and practical, prioritised roadmaps.
ERP & Financial Systems
Sage, Access Accounts and Oracle Financials integration, business-critical reporting, and process improvement.
Migration Assurance
Data, interfaces, reconciliation, cutover planning, supplier coordination and delivery risk management.
Fractional CTO & Technology Leadership
Technology strategy, vendor management, budget responsibility and delivery oversight as an interim IT Director or fractional CTO — without a full-time hire.
