Technology Makes Money
I help growing companies become resilient and profitable by using technology in smart, sensible ways — finding the opportunities your competitors haven't seen yet.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience, qualifications from US and EU universities, and a pragmatic approach to solving real problems, I deliver results that matter without the enterprise price tag.
Services
How I Help Growing Companies
Fractional CTO
Strategic technology leadership for companies growing too fast to figure this out themselves but not ready for a full-time executive. I become your technology advisor — roadmapping, vendor decisions, security oversight, team guidance.
10-20 hours monthly engagement
Perfect for: Growing businesses that need strategic tech guidance without the full-time salary.
AI Integration Strategy
Where can AI actually help your business — not just "we should use AI"? I identify practical applications, evaluate tools, and architect implementation that delivers real results.
Project-based or ongoing retainer
Perfect for: Businesses ready to use AI strategically, not just experimentally.
Value Engineering
Most SMEs operate at 40-60% efficiency. I find the lost 40-60% and turn it into profit through process optimization, system improvements, and strategic resource allocation.
R35k-85k for full programs
Perfect for: Businesses ready to systematically eliminate waste and capture hidden profit.
Security & Compliance
Gap audits, POPIA compliance, and practical security that works for SMEs. Not enterprise theater — actual protection for businesses handling sensitive data.
Project-based or retainer
Perfect for: Businesses that need to strengthen security and meet compliance requirements.

Approach
Breadth Matters
South African research shows that SMEs who embrace technology strategically last longer and grow faster. But "embrace technology" doesn't mean buying more tools. It means applying the right technology to the right leverage points — and that requires someone who understands the world, not just your tech stack.
Most consultants know one thing well. I know a lot about a lot — technology, security, business, law, communications. That's why I see things others don't.
I work with growing companies who need an advisor they can trust: someone who sees what they don't, tells them the truth, and stays in their corner.
