I'm Head of Technology & Artificial Intelligence at Propel Finance, an FCA-regulated fintech, where I hold both the CTO and CISO remit and an FCA Senior Management Function. Over six years I've grown the technology function from 3 people to 50 across development, InfoSec, QA, data and IT, with no material breach or cyber security incident in that time.
I offer that same experience on a part-time or advisory basis to businesses that need senior technology and security leadership without a full-time hire.
How I help
- Technology strategy, architecture and roadmap
- Security strategy, ISMS ownership and board-level cyber reporting
- AI strategy and governance across engineering, productivity and platform
- Building and structuring engineering teams, from hiring to ways of working
- Technical due diligence for investors, banks and acquirers
- Responding to partner, bank and regulator security audits
- Incident response playbooks and resilience testing
- Budget, vendor and licence rationalisation
What you get
- Senior leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire
- One person who covers technology, security and AI
- Experience in a regulated environment
- Clear reporting to founders, boards and investors
