Technical due diligence and PE/VC advisory
Boards and investors need a clear view of architectural risk, scalability, vendor lock-in, and whether the engineering organisation can deliver.
I assess the estate and the team, not only the slide deck. That includes post-acquisition technical reviews, consolidation roadmaps, and independent views of cloud strategy or large vendor proposals. The output is written for investment committees and boards, not only for architects.
What you get
- Architectural risk, scalability, vendor dependencies, and engineering capability
- Post-acquisition technical reviews and consolidation roadmaps
- Independent assessment of cloud strategy and vendor proposals
- Executive-ready documentation for boards and investors
- Optional post-close support to sequence integration without stalling local delivery
Evidence from delivery
I have advised on consolidation after acquisitions across international online marketplaces: target architectures, shared data platforms, and the trade-offs between local delivery priorities and group direction on mixed AWS and Azure estates.
Typical output is a structured risk view, a staged roadmap, and language that IC and board packs can use without a second translation step. Inputs are interviews, architecture and cost evidence, and enough access to code and operations to ground the conclusions.
Where the deal completes, the same work becomes a practical integration plan rather than a due-diligence artefact that is discarded.
