Fractional CIO | IT Strategy for High-Stakes M&A | Faster M&A, Smoother Exits | De-risking IT & unlocking value | Author

If IT isn’t creating enterprise value, it’s destroying it. Most firms still treat IT as a cost centre. Growth-focused companies can’t afford that mistake. I help CEOs, CFOs, boards, and investors turn IT into a value-creation engine — accelerating deals, de-risking operations, and boosting EBITDA.

Proven Results

✓ £1.6m in savings within 18 months across 10+ countries
✓ Seamless IT integrations in £300m+ and £400m+ transactions
✓ 40% fewer outages across 150+ retail locations
✓ Cybersecurity resilience with NIST maturity scores above industry benchmarks

Why Clients Choose Me

✓ Fractional CIO flexibility — strategic leadership without full-time overhead
✓ Interim CIO firepower — execution in high-stakes transformations
✓ Board-level insight — translating IT complexity into clear business impact

Whether you’re scaling a mid-sized firm or leading a multi-country enterprise, IT should fuel growth, protect assets, and support scale. If it isn’t, it’s silently eroding value.

I am currently accepting 2 more clients in 2025 (Fractional, Interim, or Advisory).

Coastal Carolina Comfort LLC

This is an HVAC Business 

We began working with this client on April 1st. Prior to that, in March:

They had generated 42 leads through ads
Quote Value: $59,611
Sale Value: $379



When I took over on April 1st, I restructured the account, paused all previous campaigns, and launched two new campaigns using STAG-based ad groups, with a focus primarily on AC services due to the summer season.



After 30 days, the results improved significantly:

106 leads generated
Quote Value: $166,122
Sale Value: $28,861


Here’s what I changed:

Replaced Performance Max with Search campaigns

Introduced theme-based ad groups

Created localized ad copy

Added extensive negative keyword lists

Used a minimal number of highly targeted keywords in each ad group

Most importantly, leveraged "near me" keywords in a truly local context to capture nearby searches

We have said goodbye to Each Other 



I was responsible for the Google Ads.
Not Facebook Ads, SEO, or other channels.

Their revenue was hurting badly.

And through Google Ads, we were almost achieving 6X ROAS.

We generated:

$151,444.50 in quotes
$48,231.25 in sales
62 leads
Ad spend: $8.7K


But since their overall revenue was hurting…

They hired an agency to do everything — Google Ads, SEO, Meta Ads, etc.

They were actually a franchise of a big brand, and there was a connection between the other agency and the big brand.

The brand came with an offer:

“We’ll pay all your marketing fees, but you have to work with this agency.”

And since the client was already tempted, especially with their current revenue issues…

I lost him.

But here’s the funny part:

I still have access to their Google Ads account.

And the new agency is just running my campaigns, without changes.

They only added one campaign with these settings:

All keywords on Broad Match
Bidding: Maximize Clicks (no bid cap)
Location targeting is set to interest, not presence
Ad scheduling: 24/7, even though they are closed on weekends



So, the whole point of the story is:



👉 A good offer beats the best product/service (Okay, I’m good — maybe not the best 😅)
👉 You shouldn’t blame one channel for another channel’s poor performance
👉 And remember: good services are never free
