Work
Client names are withheld as a matter of course — most of this work happened during a raise, a turnaround or a regulatory deadline, and none of it was public at the time. We are happy to arrange references at the right point in a conversation.
Offshore delivery had stalled and costs were climbing without a matching rise in output. We restructured the delivery model and the vendor relationship, and took 30% out of the cost base within six months while quality and time to market both improved.
A platform redesign driven by a regulatory deadline was already half a year late when we were brought in. We re-planned the delivery around the immovable date, cut the scope back to what the regulation actually required, and brought it home.
Over twelve months, 60% of planned releases had been abandoned mid-flight. The cause was process rather than talent. We rebuilt the quality gates and the release cadence so that what got committed to got delivered.
Customer onboarding was manual, slow and inconsistent in an environment where the audit trail mattered as much as the outcome. We automated the pipeline without loosening a single control.
We acted as the standing technology function for an incubator portfolio, advising more than twenty startups on architecture, build-versus-buy, hiring and technical diligence readiness.
A fast-growing business was adding revenue and losing money, with infrastructure and licensing costs scaling faster than the top line. We reset the technology economics and the operating model behind them.

If one of the above sounds uncomfortably familiar, that is usually the moment worth a call.
Every one of these started as something else — a missed date, a board question, a diligence request that nobody could answer cleanly.
