I Help Six-Figure CIO, CTO, CISO and Head of IT & Change 
Get Their Ideal job, Faster, 
With The Proven 7-Step System For Job Seeking Success

If you are an executive permanent, contract
or interim technology exec (minimum £150k)
and looking for your next role,
then you’ve come to the right place.

I know you’re worried about how long you could be
(or already have been) out of work. You're not alone.

You’re hacked off with the number of applications
you’ve made, only to never hear back. It’s just rude.

Attaching your CV and then having to
fill out an online form with exactly the same information
- that's a mugs game.

And let’s not talk about recruiters.
Just don’t go there.

The uncertainty -
the not knowing when you’re going to get back in,
that’s stressful.

I know. I know - and I’m here for you.

Your ideal technology leaders job is out there.
But it’s not always advertised.

You *can* get your ideal job to come to you
- it’s actually faster this way.

It also pays more.

You don’t even have to sell yourself.

Your ideal job, faster, for more money,
without having to sell yourself.

The Executive Edge job seeking coaching program
is exclusively for senior people like you
and has been refined over several years
and 570+ successes with six and seven-figure earners.

It’s not for everyone.
I’m not for everyone.

I expect and deliver results.
Definitive, measurable results.

Everyone gets exactly what they paid for.
You'll get your ideal job, faster,
for more money, without having to sell yourself.

Which then begs the question...
are you too comfortable blaming “the market”
or “circumstances” for your lack of success?

I’m not judging, but I am giving you fair warning.
Join the Executive Edge program
and I take away all the excuses
and replace them with certainty and confidence.

Executive Job Seeking Masterclasses

Transitioning out of the UK Armed Forces is not straight forward

It's even trickier when you're an Officer.

And let's not talk about how lame CTP is.

I've climbed the highest free-standing mountain in the world and hustled my middle-aged ass along the 100m track at the London Olympic stadium in 2012, both times to raise money and awareness for Help for Heroes.

I've visited Tidworth House and have spoken to those who have served and survived.

I've chosen to say thank you.

I've built what I believe to be a world-class job seeking coaching program, which UK Armed Forces Officers have completed and say was the difference between confusion and confidence. Between wrong moves and a clear road map to job seeking success.

It's for you.

DM me for more information and I'll help you.

Who is Johnny M Walker?

You either land your ideal job faster and for more money…or you don’t.

If your job search isn’t yielding the results you deserve, it’s not your fault. 

The job market is tough, especially for senior executives like CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs. 

Endless applications, recruiters who don’t get it, and interviews that go nowhere can leave you frustrated and stuck.

That’s why I created The Executive Edge. I’m Johnny Walker, and I specialise in helping senior executives - CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs - break free from the grind of traditional job hunting and land their ideal roles.

With over 600+ success stories behind me, I’ve developed a science-backed, step-by-step formula that simplifies the process:

✅Discover and unlock the hidden job market
✅Craft a standout CV that commands attention
✅Master interviews with confidence and ease
✅Use LinkedIn to build visibility and meaningful connections

This isn’t just coaching, it’s actionable teaching with measurable results. 

Whether you're tired of wasting hours on online applications, feeling stuck with recruiters, or not getting the offers you deserve, we’ll give you the tools to turn things around.

Here’s why it works:

📍I focus exclusively on senior executives like you.
📍I’ve got 450+ client testimonials to back it up.
📍You’re following a proven system. 

Your next role is waiting - it’s time to make it happen. 

If you’re ready to leave the frustration behind, DM me or book a call today.

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).
DM me or book a call to explore how IT can become your competitive edge.
