About Michael

Who I help

You’re scaling an engineering team, driving a digital transformation, or trying to make technology and business finally speak the same language ? That’s where I come in.

What I bring

With 20+ years of experience in engineering leadership and digital transformation, I help organisations cut through complexity: building high-performing teams, aligning technology with business strategy, and delivering transformations that stick. I've built departments from scratch, led platform modernisations at scale, and acted as the bridge between C-suite vision and technical execution.

What I deliver concretely

  • Engineering team leadership and organisational design
  • Digital transformation programmes (vision to execution to adoption)
  • Business process engineering (frameworks, documentation, alignment)
  • Technology-business alignment at executive level

Where I work best

With organisations facing real complexity, where the stakes are high and clarity is the job.
