Technology strategy and engineering product development
Bridging the gap between technology and production
I help advanced-technology companies turn difficult engineering challenges into commercially viable products and executable development programmes.
Senior technical judgement when the next stage gets difficult.
Focused support for companies moving from research and demonstration towards product, certification, manufacturing and commercial deployment.
01
Technology & Product Strategy
Independent assessment of technology, product requirements, development risks, engineering needs and the roadmap to commercialisation.
02
Fractional CTO / Engineering Director
Senior technical leadership for companies that need experienced engineering direction without immediately hiring a full-time executive.
03
Technical Due Diligence
Independent assessment of technology credibility, maturity, development risk, programme readiness, manufacturing and route to deployment.
04
Programme Recovery & Scale-Up
Independent intervention when technical, organisational, supplier or programme issues threaten delivery or the transition to scale.
For organisations with strong technology and difficult next steps.
The challenge comes at the point where a technically credible idea has to become a product, programme or investable business.
- Creating a technology and IP strategy.
- Helping investors evaluate technology and engineering risk.
- Formulating a credible product development plan.
- Executing on product validation, certification and launch.
- Understanding real costs and development time-frames.
- Building the right team to make a product real.
Engineering depth. Commercial perspective. Programme experience.
