Bridging the Gap Between Tech Teams and the Business
Technology Leadership and Strategy for start-ups and scale-ups.
If you’re a CEO or board member, and your tech team feels like a black box, you’re not alone. I help company leaders bridge the gap between business and engineering, so delivery gets faster, clearer, and more aligned with what matters. I work with UK and EU startups and scaleups to provide technology leadership and coaching.
Why is my Tech Team Slow?
You’ve got a smart, committed technical team, but something’s not clicking.
​
You might be noticing:
-
It’s hard to get a clear answer on what’s being worked on or when it’ll be done
-
Business priorities don’t seem to translate into engineering outcomes
-
Product delivery is slower than you’d expect for the size of the team
-
Your CTO or tech lead is stretched thin and deep in the weeds
-
The rest of the company avoids involving “the tech team” unless they absolutely have to
Maybe nothing’s broken exactly… but it feels like you’re leaving potential on the table. And when you're under pressure to grow or show progress, that gets frustrating fast.
The Real Problem: Misalignment Between Business and Tech
This usually isn’t about bad leadership, poor tools, or the wrong hires.
It’s about misalignment between your strategy and what your tech team is doing day to day.
​
That misalignment shows up in delivery delays, confusion, team friction, missed opportunities, and growing mistrust between functions.
​
Most companies try to solve it with more planning, more reporting, or another round of hires. But what they often need is a fresh perspective, and someone who can work with both sides to close the gap.
How I Help CEOs and Tech Teams Work Better Together
I work directly with CEOs, CTOs, and other technical leaders to improve the way software teams deliver and their connection to business strategy.
​
Depending on what you need, I can:
-
Diagnose where delivery is slowing down or going sideways
-
Coach your CTO to operate more effectively with business stakeholders
-
Help prioritise the roadmap based on strategic goals
-
Set up lightweight processes and update schedules to make progress visible
-
Act as a trusted sounding board while things get back on track
This isn’t about adding process or reporting overhead. It’s about making progress visible, purposeful, and aligned.

Who is this for?
You're likely in the right place if:
-
You run a UK-based tech company with fewer than 30 engineers/developers
-
You’re not technical yourself, or not close to the day-to-day anymore.
-
Your CTO/Tech Lead is strong technically, but not naturally fluent in the business side.
-
You're under pressure to deliver more, faster, but you're not sure where the bottleneck is.
​
You want to trust and support your tech team. But right now, you can’t see the full picture, and it’s getting in the way of growth.
My Story
I have over 25 years of experience as a technical leader and developer across many start-ups and scale-ups in the tech sector. I've worked with teams to build mobile apps, AI tooling, educational platforms, fintech and health tech.
​
I love working with founders to bring dreams to life, whether supporting your first concept build or equipping your tech team with the skills and practices they need to perform at scale. I specialise in working with non-technical founders, making tech issues relatable and easily understood.
​
Technical leadership is more than just the tech; it's about ensuring your vision is sustainable in the long term and that you have the team and skills to achieve it. I support your ambitions with mentoring for your leadership team, technical strategy, technical best practices and growth planning to ensure your setup for the long term.
