Engineering grew. Delivery didn’t.

I help growing SaaS and product companies find and fix the execution constraints slowing their roadmap. I work alongside your CTO or VP Engineering, not above them.

$40M+

Annual delivery portfolio. Gross margin increased by 4 percentage points by transforming the delivery operating model.

4 → 2 weeks

Halved time-to-market in half by aligning product and engineering priorities, reshaping the roadmap and strengthening delivery governance.

12 → 3 weeks

Cut the release cycle by aligning five engineering teams with business priorities and creating a shared delivery roadmap.

Does this sound familiar?

  • 01Roadmap dates keep moving.
  • 02Engineering headcount grows, but throughput doesn't.
  • 03Technical debt competes with every product decision.
  • 04Each team gives a different answer about delivery status.
  • 05Your dashboards say green. Your customers say red.

If two of these are true, the problem is rarely the people. It’s the delivery system around them.

Former Chief Delivery Officer

Not an Agile coach. Not a strategy consultant. Not another layer of management.

I’ve run delivery organisations, owned commercial results, recovered troubled accounts and led engineering transformations. I find where execution breaks, work with your team on the biggest constraint, and leave a system your leaders can run without me.

The work, not the logo wall.

01

Green on paper. Red with the client.

Enterprise client account

The status report said everything was fine. The client said otherwise: missed deadlines and quality problems. I ran a root-cause session with the team, called the client and agreed a recovery plan with dates, replaced the project manager and introduced test automation.

Back on schedule in 2 months. The client grew the team 3x within a year.

02

4 weeks → 2 weeks

High-load sports platform, live football and golf · 3 teams, ~35 engineers

Releases took four weeks and we were losing deals on speed. The time was going into technical debt. With the architect, I rebalanced debt against features, then restructured the release flow with quality gates and CI/CD.

Time-to-market halved. Within 3 months, that speed helped win a $2M enterprise contract.

03

3 months → 3 weeks

Automotive program · 90 people, 5 teams (mobile, web, embedded, ML, cloud)

Five teams, five rhythms, no predictability. I brought them onto one planning cadence with one view of dependencies, and picked change agents inside each team to carry the new practices.

Release cycle about 4x faster. Program predictability 0.7 after the first planning increment.

04

$40M+ portfolio. +4 points gross margin.

500+ person technology services company · ~35 clients

Moved the business from selling people to managed delivery. Three functions changed at once: delivery managers took ownership of scope and margin, sales changed what it sells, and client management was aligned with delivery.

+4 points gross margin, about $1.6M a year.

AI made engineers faster. Then the bottleneck moved.

Six months, two teams, 15 engineers, Copilot and Cursor tested side by side.

+34%

task completion speed

+37%

merged PRs per sprint

~4 hrs

a week saved per developer

Writing code got faster. Review didn’t. Requirements became the expensive input. So I measure cycle time and rework, not lines of code.

Run an IT services company? I also work with services firms on margin pressure and the move from staff augmentation to managed delivery.
