Strategic Technology Advisor for B2B SaaS
Making the hard decisions and seeing them through.
Modernising established B2B SaaS
I've spent a lot of time inside older B2B SaaS products. That experience shapes how I approach modernisation. Instead of a rewrite, it's more often about deciding what to keep, what to replace and in what order.
Engagements can begin with a technology assessment, a few weeks getting to know the business, the product and the code well enough to advise on them properly. It also stands on its own where there's a single decision to settle.
Product & Technology
Twenty years across media, fintech, insurance, real estate and health and safety have shown me both success and failure. That breadth helps with the hard decisions.
Risk & Governance
I help make the risks behind those decisions visible and manageable, adding the right level of structure, ownership, and governance without slowing delivery down.
Research & Prototyping
I use focused research, experiments, and prototypes to test the most important assumptions, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen the roadmap before serious investment.
