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?
We don’t manage suppliers - we lead delivery. Our fractional IT leaders take ownership across your internal and external teams to ensure alignment, accountability, and progress against your goals.
We tailor every engagement to your needs. Common entry points include:
Leading multi-vendor programmes where ownership is unclear
Replacing fragmented oversight with a single point of accountability
Resolving delivery friction between internal teams and suppliers
Taking over from overstretched execs or absent leadership
Driving alignment between technology partners and business stakeholders
Rebuilding trust after failed or stalled projects
We typically work 1–3 days per week, embedded within your leadership team, for as long as needed to deliver outcomes.
We don’t stand at arm’s length. We wear the T-shirt. We build relationships, take responsibility, and lead with the same authority as 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 teams and suppliers aren’t pulling in the same direction - or no one’s clearly in charge - we can help.
