1 Fractional & interim technology or safety leadership

For organisations where there isn't the need to commit to a full time position, or if you want an experienced tech leader at a fraction of the cost of a full time salary, I can help out with fractional and interim support.

This might be right for you if:

You're just starting up; you don't want a full time person sitting around being paid regardless if your needs are only sporadic, but those needs are there. You've researched what a very experienced leader could cost you full time (ouch), and although you'd love this expertise you just don't have the budget. Maybe you need help getting the right permanent hire, but you want to keep everything else ticking over in the meantime. Or you may find yourself needing very senior support for a set period (for example ramping up to a fundraise or an IPO), where someone could partner with your existing leadership to share a bit of the load.

I would always work with you to understand your individual needs, but typically these kinds of engagements would be 1-2 days per week for around 3-24 months, with an agreement around emergencies or other sporadic needs outside of this.

2 Standalone consultancy & advisory engagements

When you don't need support on an ongoing or extended basis, but instead need help with a more standalone problem to solve.

These types of engagements can take all kinds of forms, for example: working with your team to shepherd a new progression framework, overhauling an incident response program, setting up a hiring framework specific to individual markets, embedding responsible AI principles into development, coaching and mentoring emerging leaders, or help designing organisational structures.

Trust & Safety expertise: Outside of more general technology leadership, my experience also spans working in Trust & Safety. As such I can help with creating a T&S strategy, investigating and building out a business case for investment, embedding safety by design principles in product design, and identifying opportunities to enhance opportunities to enhance operations with technology such as machine learning (responsibly).

3 Workshops

I have a set of tried-and-tested workshops that are available to be run with companies, either on site or virtually. Most of these are aimed either at Engineering Managers or wider technology teams, but if there's a particular topic or audience that you'd like to focus on I can work with you to build something bespoke.

Examples of workshop topics include:

• Crisis Simulation: practicing navigating leadership challenges in real-time
• Helping emerging leaders to understand their leadership style and strengths
• Building engineering culture

4 Coaching

I take on an extremely limited number of coaching sessions, working primarily with women and other members of groups underrepresented in technology. Please contact me directly for more information and availability.

5 NED/Trustee work

And finally, I am available to take on Non-Executive Director, or Trustee positions for organisations where my values are in alignment, and where my expertise will bring new strengths.
