Fractional CTO who builds the system, not the deck.
I build the working system, and stay until it runs.
You don't get a strategy deck and a handshake. You get the working system: live platforms running inside your business, built AI-native and still running long after handover. Systems, not slideware. For founders, leaders and boards who want an operator in the room, not another consultant.
Let's talk
About
I've run a solar company as CEO, launched bike-sharing across a hemisphere, carried full P&L for 60-person operations, and shipped the software that runs businesses. Operator first, at every stage a company moves through.
The common thread? Turning complex problems into working systems that keep running.
I don't advise and leave. I build alongside you (writing the code, structuring the deals, designing the systems) and stay until the thing runs on its own. A business partner you can deploy exactly where you need one.
Based in Adelaide, I work with clients nationally and remotely across Australia.
AI-native from day one. I build with the tools that are reshaping how work gets done, not as an experiment, but as a core part of how I deliver faster, sharper outcomes for clients.

How I Work
Be a Builder
Create more than you're given. Produce more than you consume. Focus on results.
Have Courage
Take risks. Adapt to changing circumstances. Seek help when needed. Maintain transparency. Stand by your principles.
Be Self-Sufficient
Take ownership. Demonstrate resilience. Build capability in yourself and others. Practice servant leadership.
What I Bring
“I build the working system, and stay until it runs.”
“This breadth isn't scattered; it's strategic. The best solutions often come from connecting dots across disciplines that rarely talk to each other.”
How I Help
I don't advise from the sidelines. I build the working system and stay until it runs, across four ways of working:
Launch
Getting new ventures off the ground. Business formation, brand strategy, go-to-market planning, and MVP development. From idea validation through to first customers.
- Brand development and positioning
- Market research and validation
- Technology MVP builds
- Pitch deck and investor materials
- Business registration and structure
Build
Creating the foundations for scale. Technology platforms, operational systems, process design, and team capability building. Turning vision into functioning infrastructure.
- Web application development
- Database and system architecture
- Workflow automation
- Process documentation
- Team structure and capability planning
Grow
Expanding what's working. Strategic advisory, fractional executive roles, partnership development, and scaling support. Adding fuel to existing fires.
- Fractional MD/COO engagements
- Strategic planning facilitation
- Partnership and network introductions
- Business development support
- Board advisory
Sustain
Maintaining and optimising operations. Asset management, energy efficiency, compliance frameworks, and operational improvement. Keeping the engine running smoothly.
- Energy audits and decarbonisation strategy
- NABERS compliance and rating optimisation
- Asset auditing and condition assessment
- Regulatory compliance frameworks
- Operational efficiency reviews
- Access to curated delivery network
Effective Challenge · For boards
AI governance literacy for directors
A half-day, assessment-backed programme mapped to APRA's expectations. Run by practitioners who build the systems, not the people selling the models.
Distinctive Strengths
Operator, Not Advisor
I don't hand over a deck and leave. I build the working system and stay until it runs, as comfortable shipping code as structuring a fractional executive engagement.
Startup to Scale
Launched UberEATS and ofo operations from scratch. Ran a solar company as CEO. Know what it takes to build from zero, and what breaks when you grow.
Commercial Credibility
Full P&L responsibility for teams of 40-60 people and multi-million dollar operations. Not just advisory experience. Actual operating experience.
Implementation Over Advice
Work patterns consistently move from strategy to tangible deliverables. Not just recommendations: working systems, functional code, and usable outputs.
Network Orchestration
Expertise in identifying and coordinating specialist resources (assessors, engineers, tradespeople), acting as the orchestration point for complex multi-disciplinary projects.
Pattern Recognition
Problems in healthcare look like problems in property look like problems in tech. Experience across industries reveals solutions others miss.
Selected Engagements
Structured IP licensing and technology platform delivery for a national asset management firm
Designed decarbonisation roadmaps for aged care and healthcare facilities across South Australia
Built and deployed web applications supporting 200+ commercial property assets
Provided fractional executive support through launch phase for an Australian proptech startup
Insured: $2M Professional Indemnity | $10M Public Liability
Where I Work
I deliberately work across sectors. Fresh perspectives come from cross-pollination.
Platform builds, AI integration, workflow automation
Asset platforms, NABERS compliance, energy procurement
Facility optimisation, decarbonisation roadmaps, compliance frameworks
Solar advisory, carbon strategy, regulatory navigation
Fractional executive roles, go-to-market strategy, operational design
Energy efficiency, process improvement, sustainability reporting
