We work alongside private equity investors, portfolio companies, and leadership teams to cut through complexity — delivering technology strategy, due diligence, and hands-on execution that drives real outcomes.
Three decades of building, fixing, and scaling technology across dozens of businesses — from turnarounds and carve-outs to high-growth scale-ups and IPO preparation. We bring the pattern recognition that only comes from doing the work.
What we do
We focus on the areas where technology decisions have the highest commercial impact — and where getting it wrong is most expensive.
Pre-acquisition technology assessment for investors and acquirers. We identify risk, quantify technical debt, and surface the integration or separation costs that deal models often miss.
Security-first strategy built from years of hands-on practice — not just policy documents. Cyber Essentials, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and practical remediation programmes that satisfy insurers, boards, and regulators.
Technology separation agreements, system migration, and data demerger — the complex, operational work that follows an acquisition. We have run these programmes from both sides of the table.
Architecture, migration, and optimisation across Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments. We design for security, operational resilience, and cost efficiency — not for the sake of being "in the cloud."
Translating business ambition into a clear technology plan — aligning investment, sequencing change, and building the governance that keeps delivery on track.
Board-level technology leadership on a flexible basis — for businesses that need senior oversight without a permanent hire, or during periods of transition.
Why Tektar
Tektar was founded by a practitioner who has spent three decades in the trenches — building IT functions from scratch, running global infrastructure, supporting IPOs, and working deep inside private equity portfolios across turnarounds, growth plays, and exits.
That means you get someone who has seen the pattern before, can engage at board level on Monday and troubleshoot a firewall on Tuesday, and will not hand you a deck and disappear.
We are deliberately small. Every engagement is led by the same senior person who scoped it. No bait-and-switch, no bench rotation.
We have held the CTO seat. We have been accountable for budgets, teams, and outcomes — not just recommendations.
Cyber risk is not an afterthought. We have carried CISO responsibilities alongside CTO roles and build security into every recommendation.
We speak the language of investors — value creation plans, 100-day roadmaps, TSA exit, and tech-enabled margin improvement. We understand the commercial context behind every technology decision.
Retail, manufacturing, financial services, media, pharma, professional services, education, and technology. We bring cross-industry perspective to every engagement.
Sectors
We have delivered technology programmes across industries — and that cross-pollination is often where the best ideas come from.
How we work
We follow a clear, repeatable process — but we never let process become a substitute for judgment.
We invest time upfront to understand your commercial context, constraints, and ambition before proposing anything. The right answer depends entirely on the question.
Thorough, evidence-based analysis — whether that is a pre-deal technology review, a security assessment, or an operational audit. We surface what matters and quantify the impact.
Hands-on execution alongside your team. Transparent progress reporting, continuous course-correction, and no surprises. We stay accountable through implementation, not just strategy.
Knowledge transfer, capability building, and documentation so your organisation retains full value long after the engagement ends. We build independence, not dependency.
