How can I help?


IT direction

IT is pervasive in modern businesses but we dont always connect the dots and close the loop between the business needs and the technology wants.

Data is not information, information is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom. I can help you with 30 years of experience from starting as a programmer to a decade now as an IT director.

I take a holistic view of IT as a cog in a machine, a complex cog no doubt but one which needs to turn in the same direction as the other cogs for the machine to function smoothly.


AI preparation/Development/deployment

Far too many companies fail to realise that the world has changed and changed utterly. Some would say a terrible beauty has been born but it need not be so!

The internet can seem like a jungle to many companies and without a guide can seem scary.

For the nearly 30 years, this jungle has been my home. I've built my successes on it. I've learned what works and what doesn't. I can help you find the safe path through it.


startup mentoring

For 20 years now I have either been in my own startup companies or mentoring others who were starting out.

Let me say this clearly. Your job as a startup is to stop being a startup. To grow to a medium sized company. Whatever your end goal (exit? M&A? lifestyle?) you need to grow and all growth is pain.

I can help you foresee those pain points, those growth bottlenecks before they stall your growth, possibly fatally. Been there, done that and I have the scars as well as the victories. I can help you.
