About Gareth Sebastian Redfern-Shaw

I\'m a Fractional CTO and Creative Technology Strategist with two decades of experience helping organizations—ranging from global brands to mission-driven nonprofits—align their technology with business strategy.I specialize in building scalable systems, integrating web platforms with internal tools, and leading IT strategy that supports growth and sustainability. Whether it\'s optimizing infrastructure, rethinking data flows, or aligning your digital presence with operational goals, I bring both technical fluency and executive-level insight to every project.My portfolio includes work with Jaguar Land Rover, GIANT Bicycles, and major financial institutions, alongside transformative projects for organizations like GMHC, Brightpoint Health, NYC Health + Hospitals, and The Door. I’ve led infrastructure overhauls, secured complex environments, unified systems across departments, and delivered user-focused solutions that drive results.I’m equally comfortable in code, in the server room, or in the boardroom—translating complex systems into smart, actionable plans for decision-makers.Outside of consulting, I’m a professional photographer, an educator, and a dedicated volunteer with Achilles International, guiding athletes with disabilities in endurance events such as Marathon\'s and IronMan\'s. I believe in connection, clarity, and building systems—both digital and human—that truly support people.Let’s design tech that moves your mission forward.
