Real Transformations. Measurable Results.

Case Study 01

Stabilising and Scaling the World's Biggest Crowdfunding Platform

Challenge

The world's largest crowdfunding platform needed immediate senior technology leadership to stabilise a critical platform at a pivotal growth moment - and recruit a permanent CTO.

What We Did

Engaged directly by the CEO as Interim CTO for 11 months. Strengthened core platform resilience, integrated third-party systems, and led the permanent CTO recruitment process.

Outcome

The stabilised platform supported multi-million pound raises for leading fintechs including Nutmeg, Freetrade, Curve, and Moneybox. An initial 3–4 month engagement extended to 11 months - a direct reflection of the impact delivered.

Case Study 02

Technology Strategy for an Exponentially Growing Global Brand

Challenge

A fast-scaling consumer business needed its technology strategy and infrastructure to keep pace with exponential global e-commerce growth.

What We Did

Engaged directly with the Founder and CEO to create global technology roadmaps, define investment prioritisation, and direct a full re-platforming of the technology stack - including hands-on coaching for the internal CTO.

Outcome

An ongoing strategic partnership underpinning one of the UK's fastest-growing consumer businesses as it scales globally.

Case Study 03

Building the Operating Model for a Fast-Scaling Hardware and Content Platform

Challenge

The client had grown rapidly, but its operating model hadn't kept pace - teams lacked the structure to move at the speed the business demanded.

What We Did

Designed and implemented a new operating model with cross-functional, autonomous teams and modernised agile practices. Built the client's first AI hackathon and AI operating model, and supported the hire of a new VP Engineering.

Outcome

A modern operating model built for scale, a team equipped to pursue AI opportunities systematically, and senior engineering leadership in place to execute.

Case Study 04

AI Platform Due Diligence for a Pre-Investment Decision

Challenge

An investor needed a comprehensive technology assessment of an AI platform ahead of a further funding round, with questions centred on team capability, a proprietary LLM architecture, and the viability of a proposed SaaS commercial model.

What We Did

Conducted end-to-end technical due diligence across four workstreams: document and roadmap review, CEO and CTO interviews, engineering team assessment, and hands-on platform evaluation.

Outcome

A structured assessment across five critical risk areas - LLM architecture viability, team delivery capability, infrastructure scalability, cost-to-pricing misalignment, and investment planning gaps - giving the investor clear, actionable recommendations to inform the funding decision.

Trusted Advisors to Scaling Businesses and Investors

Ijaz came in as Interim CTO at Crowdcube to help us for 3 to 4 months - providing tech leadership and helping recruit a full-time CTO. He quickly made a huge impact, using his experience at top tech companies to provide a very calm and reassuring guiding hand. He ended up staying for 11 months because we valued him so much.

Darren Westlake CEO and Co-founder, Crowdcube

When it comes to technology, Ijaz is always my first call. He makes you think ambitiously about technology while remaining realistic and strategic about how and when to bring solutions on board.
