Senior technology direction without unnecessary layers
Board and executive technology advisory, investment challenge, operating-model design and transformation leadership.
Fractional CTO and CIO services
A fractional CTO or CIO provides senior technology leadership on an agreed part-time basis. I help boards, founders, investors and management teams decide what to invest in, strengthen delivery and bring clearer ownership to technology change.
Assignments can cover IT strategy, technology investment, supplier challenge, cyber and operational risk, architecture governance and a practical transformation roadmap. The emphasis is on making decisions that the business can fund and teams can deliver, rather than producing a strategy that sits on a shelf.
Interim technology leadership and transformation
For a leadership gap or a defined programme, interim IT director, architecture and transformation support can provide more concentrated involvement. We agree the mandate, decision-making authority, time commitment and measures of progress before starting.
I work from Hertfordshire with clients in London, across the UK and internationally. Consultancy engagements are provided through STUARTMCGROGAN LTD; enquiries about permanent employment relate to me personally.
Which engagement is right for your business?
Fractional leadership suits a recurring need for senior direction without a full-time appointment. Interim leadership suits a temporary gap or intensive delivery period. An advisory sprint suits a specific decision, assessment or independent review.
Related support includes enterprise architecture consulting, technology due diligence and AI and cloud strategy.
