Engineering value creation for investors and boards — from an operator who has run engineering delivery, transformation and hiring inside a large, complex, regulated organisation. Not a consultant describing the problem: someone who has solved it.
Can this engineering organisation actually deliver the growth or value-creation plan being underwritten? That's a different, harder question than "is the architecture good" — and it's the one that actually protects the investment.
Organisation, delivery, high-level architecture, technical debt, key-person dependency, roadmap and leadership — top 10 risks, severity, and recommended actions.
Embedded senior engineering leadership on a fractional basis — architecture decisions, delivery oversight, and board-level input, without the cost or lead time of a full-time hire.
Sourcing and placing an experienced engineering leader into your organisation on a near full-time basis, for as long as the gap needs covering — vetted through Scalepath's own network.
"You don't need 20 more engineers. You need to fix how the existing 80 operate."
We talk through the situation — a deal on the clock, a portfolio company that isn't delivering, or an engineering organisation nobody fully trusts the story on.
Scope and price are agreed before any work starts. No surprise billing, no scope creep without a separate conversation first.
Every engagement ends with a clear recommendation — proceed, proceed with conditions, or don't — and, if you want it, the option to stay and help fix what was found.
Engineering Manager at a large, complex, high-availability transport operator, running multiple engineering teams and contractors through digital transformation programmes. PMI-AI certified. Oxford Executive Leadership Programme. When a technical debt figure or a delivery risk is flagged, it's because it's been lived with directly — not read about.
Tell me briefly what's on your mind — a deal on the clock, a portfolio company that isn't delivering, or an engineering organisation nobody fully trusts the story on. I'll reply directly, usually within a day.
