A regulated financial services firm was operating under PRA scrutiny with a failing disaster recovery capability, £50M of capital locked, and technology delivery that had lost credibility at the executive level.
A regulated financial services firm was operating under active PRA scrutiny. Its disaster recovery capability had failed to meet compliance standards, effectively locking £50M in capital against regulatory risk. The board had no clear view of its exposure.
Technology delivery had lost credibility at the executive level - there was no accountable technical leader capable of translating the technical reality into board-level decisions. Investor confidence was deteriorating. The firm also faced fixed FCA-mandated timelines for a new core banking platform.
A Fractional CTO was deployed to take direct ownership of the disaster recovery remediation programme. Working at board level with the CEO and CFO, the engagement established clear risk transparency, reasserted technology leadership, and drove the programme through to PRA compliance within fixed regulatory timelines.
A parallel workstream delivered an FCA-approved core banking platform. Board-ready reporting and clear decision accountability were embedded before exit.
