Fractional CTO for Financial services
Senior technology leadership on a fraction of a full-time hire — strategy, architecture, and a team that ships.
Why it matters in financial services
Money, sensitive data, and a regulator that expects evidence. Trust is the product, and operational resilience is now a board-level obligation — not an IT line item.
- →Standing up a credible security and risk function that the FCA and PRA will recognise
- →Operational resilience: identifying important business services and proving you can stay within impact tolerances
- →Shipping product fast without tripping over change-management and audit expectations
- →Third-party and cloud concentration risk across a growing supplier estate

How we work in financial services
We act as the accountable CTO or CISO who can speak to a regulator and an engineer in the same afternoon — building the controls, the evidence, and the resilience story without grinding delivery to a halt.
