Building and fixing teams and processes

Early-stage businesses and enterprises often require a helping hand navigating all-too common challenges:

• Setting and driving technical direction
• Retaining agility in the face of security and compliance pressures
• Shifting between maturities and growth stages whilst keeping pace with delivery or service pressures.
• Making tough choices in prioritisation

Typically, these kinds of problems require a rare blend of people, process and technology skills found in a Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Head of Engineering, or Engineering Director - or in a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Head of Information Security.

Typically these are hard to find, hard to hire, or hard to justify types of people.

This is where a Fractional, Virtual or Interim comes in.

This is where I come in.

Grendel Consulting Limited is operated by me - James Ramirez, an Engineering and Security Leader with over 25 years of experience in the Financial Services, FinTech and Data Management sectors, where I have built a reputation for engineering excellence, innovation, and pragmatism. I have successfully led multiple early-stage businesses through their security and compliance journeys, rescued failing teams and initiatives in large enterprise, and built nimble and robust delivery capabilities into both. These engagements can range from micro-engagements on strategy, transformation and technology introduction, to proof of concept work on data products and data lakehouses, to multi-month interim CTO roles.
