Tim Langley’s Summary

Interim IT Director or Interim CTO with a strong technical and commercial focus.

I help companies to "harmonize Business and Technology." I work with two types of organizations: established SME's who are facing change within their business and start-ups who are looking to take technology to market. I help to close the gap between the Board (or the Management) and the IT Team (whether that be inhouse, outsourced, off-shore or whether there currently is no IT team)

I'm brought into a company by referral to either the MD, Commercial Director or via one of the shareholders (often VC/PE investors).

Tim Langley’s Specialties:
