Engagement Models

I usually work with clients using one of the three engagement models below. However, I can be flexible, so if there’s a slightly different model you feel would be more beneficial then please do reach out.

Fractional CTO

A fractional CTO has similar responsibilities to that of a regular CTO, but doesn’t work exclusively full-time for one client. If you have multiple work streams, require regular dedicated hours and a ‘hands-on’ approach, then this may be the best model for you.

Project Based Consultancy

I have several pre-defined consultancy offerings (see the four above), each designed and optimised to meet a specific business requirement. Although the core offering is pre-defined, each is customised and will be tailored to your specific needs.

Pure Advisory

Maybe you just need access to an experienced technical advisor who ‘has the t-shirt’, and can help ensure you’re heading in the right direction? If so, I can provide a flexible fixed-fee advisory service that can be utilised by multiple people within your company.

Testimonials

It's always hard to find someone who can land in a business, take it's temperature and then make a big positive impact, but David did just that. He juggled not just the team but also client relationships eloquently. The only problem writing this review will be that others find out just how good David is. If you need a fractional CTO, David is exceptional.

Dave is a brilliant tech all rounder who has provided expertise on some pretty complex projects, and time and again delivered excellent results. Great with cloud deployments & warehousing, SaaS, messy website transformation, process redesign, and, to be honest, anything else tech that you chuck his way. Great project documentation, great strategic reporting and great engagement with all stakeholders.
Liam Cahill

David can do all the technical/analysis stuff; however, he has great people skills, excelling at stakeholder/project management. This is rare for someone who has such detailed hands on technical knowledge. If you are looking to put a project in safe hands then David is your man. He is also one of the good guys, personable, measured and always willing go out of his way to help!
