Boardman Information

Boardman provides board-level technology leadership to UK mid-market companies, the kind scaling toward Series B, enterprise expansion, or exit, where technology has outgrown the leadership steering it. Most companies at this stage need senior technology judgement long before they can justify a full-time executive salary. We provide it on a fractional basis: a vetted bench of real operators, including CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, CPOs and Chief AI Officers, who've scaled businesses through exactly this phase. They're embedded for a few days a month and backed by a platform that handles governance, board reporting and assurance, so continuity never rests on a single person. Where we work - Technology due diligence and investor readiness for a raise or an exit - Clearing the compliance gaps (ISO 27001, SOC 2) and security questionnaires that block enterprise sales - Making the architecture and build-vs-buy decisions that are too expensive to get wrong - Building engineering and product leadership that scales past 30 people - Adopting AI sensibly, with strategy, ownership and governance rather than hype - Taking control of IT cost, suppliers and risk - Independent technology counsel at board level Not sure what you need? A technology audit shows what to fix, in what order, and which leadership you actually need. Not a freelancer, and not a single hire you're betting the business on. Senior leaders who've done the job, matched to your sector and stage, often starting within days. And if a full-time hire is the right answer, we'll tell you. No equity. No full-time salary. No drama. Senior leadership, calibrated to what you actually need this month.
