What We’ve Done
We’ve delivered fractional leadership across a wide range of business-critical scenarios. Examples include:
Post-CTO Continuity & Roadmap Delivery
After a senior tech leader exited a growing design practice, we stepped in as their embedded CTO; stabilising day-to-day operations, prioritising long-delayed initiatives, and delivering a board-approved technology roadmap aligned to their commercial growth.
Restructuring IT to Enable Scale
For a national engineering and environmental consultancy, we led the redefinition of IT strategy and governance, repositioning the internal team as a strategic partner to the business. The result: improved service delivery, stronger supplier accountability, and scalable infrastructure to support growth.
Financial Services Governance & Information Security
Managing close to a £1bn fund, this firm needed a steady hand at the helm to give assurance, governance and regulatory compliance. Technic8 provides CTO & CISO services across the UK and Europe from a compliance perspective, as well as all BAU IT operations.
Digital Strategy for a Regulated Innovator
We provided fractional leadership to a fast-scaling biotech preparing for external scrutiny. Our work included governance uplift, cloud strategy execution, and oversight of all technology partners; giving the board confidence in the business’s readiness and resilience.
Long-Term Technology Leadership for Top 100 Legal Firm
We were initially brought in to define a three-year technology and innovation strategy for a leading City-based law firm. Ten-years on, we continue to provide embedded leadership; ensuring ongoing alignment between IT, risk and business goals. Our work has supported sustained growth, strengthened assurance, and most recently, guided the development of their AI governance and innovation roadmap.
Reducing Tech Waste through Transformation
In one engagement, we helped a services firm reduce IT overhead from 10% of revenue to under 3% by rebuilding the technology strategy from the ground up - removing duplication, consolidating systems, and improving data-driven decision-making across departments.
How We Deliver
How do you want us to deliver?
Our fractional technology leaders don’t just design a growth plan and step back. They embed within your team to lead the execution, aligning every decision and action to your long-term goals.
We tailor each engagement to your business needs. Common entry points include:
Defining and delivering a scalable technology roadmap
Aligning systems, data, and operations to support growth
Strengthening internal capabilities while leveraging the right external partners
Leading platform, infrastructure, or capability upgrades
Preparing for funding rounds, acquisition, or geographic expansion
Improving reporting, governance, and investor confidence
We typically work 1–3 days per week, embedded within your leadership team, for as long as needed to deliver outcomes.
We’re not external consultants. We wear the T-shirt. We lead from within, take ownership, and act with the same accountability you’d expect from a full-time executive.
The Business Case for Fractional Leadership
Hiring a full-time CIO or CISO is a major investment - often £150k+ in base salary, plus bonuses, benefits, and the time spent recruiting the right person. Many growing organisations don’t need that level of full-time resource; but they still need someone who can guide strategy, take ownership and lead risk management decision-making.
With Technic8, you gain a proven technology leader who brings:
Board-level experience and strategic focus
Embedded accountability with no long onboarding curve
Hands-on leadership, not just high-level advice
The flexibility to scale up or down as your needs change
You get the outcomes, the leadership and the confidence; without the full-time commitment.
Let’s talk.
If your business is scaling and you need experienced leadership to align your technology, operations, and investment plans - we’re ready to help.
