Structure for complex IT organisations.

I support where governance, accountability and execution drift apart — bringing back clarity, steerability and executability.

Typical situations

Governance exists — but is not yet effective

Roles, forums and KPIs are in place, but they still do not create clear decision capability in day-to-day operations.

Structures are growing — controllability is shrinking

Federated setups, platforms and accountability drift apart and make delivery harder to steer.

Regulation meets operational ambiguity

DORA, audit and evidence raise the pressure while interfaces and ownership are not yet fully robust.

Critical phase, high pressure, little time

When stabilisation, prioritisation or leadership support must become effective quickly.

What this changes

Clarity in the operating model

Roles, accountability and decision paths are defined so delivery becomes reliable and escalation becomes robust.

Governance that decides

Steering, KPIs and committees create focus and decision capability — rather than additional friction.

Integration without losing control

Harmonisation in federated environments — with standards, data ownership and stable handovers to operations.

Resilience with operational grounding

Evidence-ready without paper compliance: processes, interfaces and reporting that hold in daily operations and under pressure.

Typical situations

  • Governance exists on paper, yet decisions are slow or keep circling without resolution.
  • Programmes, platforms or integrations are moving — but accountability, prioritisation and handovers remain blurred.
  • Regulatory requirements such as DORA hit historically grown structures and fragmented accountability.
  • ServiceNow or other platforms are in place, but without a clear operating model they do not create the expected impact.

Technical grounding

I lead executive-first — but always with a technical reality check so decisions do not just sound right, but actually hold in operations.

Architecture mindset: target pictures, principles, standardsIntegrator method: stakeholders, governance, interfacesOperational reality: ITSM, CMDB/CSDM, SecOps, compliance

Outcomes (instead of a feature list)

Operating Model & Governance

Clarify mandate, roles and steering so delivery becomes reliable.

Integration & Structural Alignment

Reduce complexity and integrate safely into operations.

Resilience & Regulatory Readiness

Evidence-ready — pragmatic, without paper compliance.

Execution & Interim Leadership

When fast impact is needed: steering, focus, delivery — hands-on (incl. interim support).

What I am typically brought in for

  • Sharpen operating models and governance setups in complex or federated environments
  • Bring platform, process and organisational logic back into alignment
  • Make resilience, incident/security mechanisms and evidence pragmatically robust
  • Restore focus, rhythm and delivery capability in critical phases

Who this is for

  • Board / leadership: controllability, transparency, accountability, risk focus
  • CIO / IT leadership: operating model, delivery, harmonisation, platform strategy
  • Risk / compliance / CISO: evidence, incident/resilience mechanisms, third-party steering
  • Service / platform owners: standard-first, data quality, upgradeability

How we work together

  1. Orientation
    Context, stakeholders, risks, success criteria — and what truly needs a decision.
  2. Design
    Operating model & governance as decision logic — not slideware.
  3. Delivery
    Hands-on implementation, stabilisation, handover & enablement.
