Enterprise Technology Value & Governance
Bringing commercial discipline and structural control to complex technology estates.
I work with CIOs, CFOs and investors who need control of a technology estate while something is changing: a separation, an integration, a major vendor renewal, an audit, a cost reset. Twenty-five years doing this as a CIO, as a programme delivery executive at IBM, and now independently. No partner channel, no reseller margin, no platform allegiance.
Technology spend
Compare what is paid for with what is used. Cut what is not used, consolidate what is duplicated, renegotiate what is misaligned. Savings that hold after I leave.
Governance and risk
Give the board a clear view of what technology costs and what it risks, and a structure for deciding what gets spent. A commercial position that stands up to a vendor audit.
Separation and integration
Keep the estate running through a separation, an integration or rapid growth, and leave each business able to run on its own from day one.
Also: vendor negotiation strategy and service platform strategy. All five mandates
Recent outcomes
A global packaging manufacturer heading into a two-entity separation. Built the service platform governance framework, restructured the Microsoft enterprise agreement around the post-separation entities, led separation of the ServiceNow estate and its licensing, and moved service desk demand to self-service under a per-ticket outsourcing contract.
A global information services group. Led the software asset management programme that identified more than $15m of licence cost optimisation and reduced audit exposure, and defined the asset and configuration management operating model that keeps it that way.
A global advertising and media group, 120,000 users. Led the recovery programme for its outsourced technology service: one operating model across onshore and offshore teams, legacy estate decommissioned faster, and revenue, growth and satisfaction targets exceeded.
