Senior technology leadership, when you need it
Not every organisation needs a full-time technology executive, and those that do can wait months to hire one. We embed experienced technology leaders in your team, on an interim or part-time basis, to set direction, manage suppliers and lead change.
Our leaders sit in your executive meetings, report to your CEO or board, and build the capability to hand over when the time is right. Some call this a fractional CIO; we call it embedded executive technology leadership.
Sound familiar?
- A technology executive role that is vacant, or never existed
- IT run largely by a managed service provider with little internal oversight
- Technology costs that keep rising without a clear view of what they buy
- A board that wants plain-language reporting on technology risk and progress
- A cloud or workplace modernisation that has stalled halfway

Questions clients ask
How is this different from hiring a contractor?
You get a senior leader backed by the whole TMC team, including data, cyber and procurement specialists, rather than one person working alone.
How much of their time do we get?
It varies by client. Some need two days a week; others need full-time leadership through a critical period. We scale up or down as needs change.
Will you help us hire a permanent leader?
Yes. We can shape the role, help assess candidates and support their first months.
