Big projects. Lean team. You don't need another hire.
Fractional project management for startups, SMEs and growing tech companies. A PMP-certified delivery lead who embeds into your team, owns the outcome, and ships. Senior leadership, zero overhead.
No pitch, no pressure. An honest conversation about whether I can help.
Your team is busy. Nothing is crossing the finish line.
Stalled deliveries
Your ERP migration is three months behind. Your product launch keeps slipping. Everyone is working, but nothing is closing.
No bandwidth for PM hires
You need someone senior enough to own delivery, but a full-time hire makes no sense for a four-to-six month project.
Internal teams are stretched
Your engineering leads are doubling as project managers, and it is hurting both their technical output and your visibility.
Stakeholder chaos
Multiple teams, vendors and executives pulling in different directions with no single point of accountability.
For a four-to-six month programme, that maths does not work. Fractional does: you buy the seniority and only the days you need.
Ownership, not coordination.
A delivery lead who embeds into your team, runs the standups, manages the vendors, escalates the risks, and stays until it ships.
Project ownership & delivery
Full accountability for outcomes: timelines, budgets, deliverables and stakeholder reporting. Not coordination. Ownership.
Governance & reporting
Weekly status dashboards, live risk registers and executive-ready reports, so leadership always has real visibility.
Team alignment & unblocking
Standups, dependency management and cross-team conflict resolution, keeping your engineers on building, not admin.
Process & tool setup
If you are running projects on spreadsheets and WhatsApp, the right tools go in (Jira, Asana or Monday) at a weight your culture can carry.
Vendor & stakeholder management
A single point of contact coordinating external vendors, partners and internal departments, so nothing falls between them.
Risk & issue management
Risks identified before they become fires, with structured escalation paths so problems get solved instead of ignored.
Three intensities. Month to month.
Scale up during crunch, scale down when you are stable. No long-term commitment, no notice period, no headcount on your books.

Thirty minutes. Bring the problem, not a brief.
A free discovery call. No pitch, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about what is slipping and whether an embedded delivery lead is the right answer. If it is not, I will say so.
