AboutĀ Ross Boardman

I help CEOs to scale their product and teams.

I help CEOs who want executive-level technology leadership, that aligns with their business vision; without the full-time executive cost.

I've worked for some of the fastest-growing companies in the world.

I was part of the leadership team that became the UK's largest-ever technology IPO.

An excellent background in shipping digital products for Nintendo, Disney, Argos, ASDA, Tesco, LADBible, Honda, Manchester United, Phones4U, NBrown, Ultimate Performance, Myprotein and Unilever.

No-Nonsense

My approach is all about results—cutting through the noise to help you succeed with real, measurable impact.

With decades of experience under my belt, I’ve made it my mission to share knowledge and insights with entrepreneurs and executives, forming lasting relationships and fuelling the success of countless startups and businesses. This isn’t just a job for me; it’s my passion.

As a fractional CTO and board advisor, I’m deeply invested in the growth of the individuals and companies I work with. Every client session is an opportunity to empower leaders with the tools they need to tackle challenges head-on and drive their vision forward.

Practical & Results-Orientated

With a no-nonsense approach and an unshakable passion for entrepreneurship, I help my clients achieve their goals through pragmatic, practical and results-driven solutions. Every strategy I offer is tailored to deliver tangible outcomes—no fluff, just real progress.

And when I'm not working with clients, you'll likely find me up a hill or on a beach, enjoying life with my family and my partner in crime, Lynne Boardman.

I’ve done this for startups and household names
