Fractional CTO
for Corporate Communications Agencies
Technical leadership for agencies building investor-facing and stakeholder platforms.
Corporate communications agencies are increasingly digital-first. Investor portals, interactive annual reports, ESG data platforms, and stakeholder microsites are now standard deliverables — and the technical quality bar is rising. These aren't standard web builds. They have compliance requirements, security standards, and data handling obligations that require senior technical oversight.
Where I help most
The problems corporate communications agencies hire a fractional CTO to solve.
Investor portal and IR platform builds
Investor relations platforms have specific requirements: regulatory compliance, accessibility standards, financial data integration, and secure document distribution. Treating them like a standard web build creates compliance and security risk that your clients can't afford.
Annual report and ESG digital delivery
Interactive annual reports and ESG microsites are high-visibility, time-critical deliveries. Performance, accessibility, and browser compatibility need to be validated before launch — not discovered by a client's stakeholders on the day.
Data security and access control
Corporate communications agencies handle sensitive financial and strategic information. Data security, access controls, and GDPR compliance are non-negotiable requirements that need senior technical oversight, not configuration decisions left to a junior developer.
Background
26 years building and leading digital at agency level.
My work with Invicomm — a London-based IR and corporate communications agency — gave me direct exposure to the technical requirements of investor-facing platforms, digital annual reports, and ESG data presentation at enterprise scale.
