ABOUT CHRISTINA H.
I work with founder-led SMEs and scale businesses as a Technical Strategic Advisor and Fractional CTO, helping leaders turn technology ambition into practical, achievable transformation.My role is to set a clear technology vision and translate it into realistic roadmaps that modernise the organisation without disrupting delivery, margin or customer experience. I specialise in guiding businesses through cloud, data and AI adoption, particularly where legacy systems, complexity and risk have built up over time.I am most often brought in when organisations need to- Move from legacy environments to modern, cloud-first architectures- Make confident decisions on AI, data platforms and cloud strategy- Establish scalable, secure and compliant technology standards- Execute large, complex migrations while maintaining service quality- Use technology to reduce cost, improve gross margin and increase resilience- Develop solutions based on what you do today and what you want to do tomorrowI have deep experience building and managing strategic cloud partnerships (including AWS and Azure), leveraging those relationships to unlock funding, commercial support and accelerated delivery. I also focus heavily on automation and infrastructure-as-code, ensuring platforms are repeatable, scalable and future-proof rather than over-engineered.Beyond technology, I support organisation-wide change programmes, advising on operating models, team structure and communication so transformation is adopted consistently from the ground up. I’m known for integrating new capabilities carefully — and then retiring legacy systems cleanly, not letting them linger.Large-scale migrations and complex system change are where I do my best work. I bring calm, structure and commercial judgement to situations that can otherwise feel overwhelming for founders and leadership teams.Alongside my advisory work, I’m an industry speaker, award winner and community organiser, with a strong track record of building capability, raising standards and developing diverse, high-performing teams.
