About Phenomlab: Executive oversight for material risk
Phenomlab provides interim / fractional CISO and Technology Director leadership for organisations where technology and security decisions carry increasing commercial weight. This is not compliance theatre.
I provide oversight when infrastructure underpins your revenue, when systems shape your customer experience, and when architectural direction affects your valuation.
The technical practitioner at the board level
I provide a rare perspective in the advisory space: I am an executive who retains direct technical and architectural practice. My judgement is grounded in two decades of enterprise ownership where consequences were commercial, not theoretical.
Structured for direct ownership, not delegation
I designed Phenomlab without those layers. You work directly with a leader who understands the engineering reality as well as the board-level risk. This model allows you to introduce senior leadership - including Enterprise AI deployment and governance - proportionate to your maturity without the friction of a permanent hire.
The defensible baseline: What this means in practice
I recognise where to tighten control and where to preserve speed. My experience is distilled from decades of technical recovery and crisis management. I value direct accountability and decisions grounded in practical consequence.
Advisory engagement
I am open to interim and fractional advisory roles for organisations requiring a clinical audit of their engineering governance, audit readiness, or sustained technology oversight.
