ABOUT PAUL JOHNSTON
I build and lead organisations that turn strategy into real-world delivery.With over 20 years in technology and leadership, I now focus on creating clarity from complexity by aligning strategy, people, and systems so teams can execute effectively and sustainably.I’ve co-founded startups, scaled and directed engineering and product teams, advised C-level leaders at AWS, and led strategic partnerships and data-governance work across private and public sectors. I’ve also delivered technical and organisational due diligence for venture and private-equity funding rounds, assessing scalability, risk, and execution for multi-million-pound investments. I’ve also supported organisations through advisory, NED mentoring, and board roles, helping align technology, governance, and purpose to deliver genuine value.My titles have varied (CTO, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Chair), but the function has been consistent: to design and lead organisations that deliver.I’m open to fractional or interim C-suite-level roles, typically 3–4 days a week, where new ventures, products, or operational capabilities need to be established and led with purpose.Based in Milton Keynes, access to London, working hybrid or remote across the UK and Europe.
