• Principal/CIO/CTO

  • Nov 2022 - Present

  Freeman Clarke is the largest and most experienced team of fractional CIOs and CTOs working exclusively in the mid-market sector. We work solely for the benefit of our clients, we have no long-term contracts, and we remain completely independent of suppliers (this is extremely rare in the world of technology). With our unique combination of business, managerial and technical experience, we support and drive growth in these areas: - Tech strategy and vision - Cyber security - Digital infrastructure - Team development and leadership - Custom software - Business systems integration - Accurate, timely reporting - Risk management and compliance - Supplier negotiation, management and contracts - Adding value for Private Equity. Freeman Clarke Principals are more than consultants, interims, or freelancers. We become part of the client’s executive team, and we remain accountable for our recommendations and our actions. Principals also draw on the experience of their Freeman Clarke colleagues, who share their expertise and market intelligence. To find out more, get in touch.
