What we cover
We help leadership align technology choices with commercial reality: growth, risk, time-to-market, and the cost of delaying hard decisions.
Typical topics include multi-year technical strategy, post-acquisition consolidation and roadmapping, platform and vendor assessments, generative AI adoption grounded in governance and delivery capacity, and investment or diligence viewpoints on architecture risk, scalability, and engineering capability.
Communication is tuned for executives: clear options, explicit assumptions, and documentation that supports funding, board, or integration steering: without hiding the engineering implications. At the same time, we bring deep technical backgrounds so we understand the reality on the ground with engineering teams and systems.
Consultancy offerings
Executive and board-level advisory grounded in auction and ecommerce operations: clear options, explicit trade-offs, and narratives that engineering can stand behind.
- Founder-aligned technology partnership. Fractional-style support through high growth: strategy, platform health, and organisation design: always tied to your next commercial milestone, not a generic playbook.
- Pre-fundraising artefacts, supporting documentation, and acquisition diligence. Help prepare investor- or buyer-ready materials and technical artefacts ahead of a round, together with technical due diligence on acquisitions: so funding conversations and deal decisions rest on clear, defensible positions your engineering teams can support.
- Portfolio technology and data narrative. Facilitation and written steer across regions and product lines: consolidation themes, data platform choices, and pragmatic AI adoption with delivery capacity in the room.
- Post-acquisition technical integration. Framing for diligence, integration sequencing, and roadmaps that respect different stacks and operating models: aimed at de-risking merge and scale-up decisions.
- Commercial API programmes. Advice from experiment to supported product: staged releases, client engagement, and exec-ready messaging aligned to what your teams can actually ship and support.
