Five ways to get technology working for you
One trusted advisor across the decisions that matter most — scoped to fit the situation, not to maximise hours.
AI Readiness & Strategy
Everyone's telling you to "do something with AI." We'll show you what's actually worth doing. Together we find the use cases with real payback, put sensible guardrails around your data, and give your leadership team the confidence to move — without betting the company on hype.
Cybersecurity Advisory
Know exactly where you're exposed and what it costs to fix — matched to your actual risk tolerance, not a vendor's sales target.
Fractional CTO
A seasoned technology executive at your leadership table for a fraction of the salary. Strategy, budgets, vendors, and the hard calls.
Executive & CEO Coaching
Straight answers for leaders making technology decisions. You'll understand the trade-offs, ask sharper questions, and own the call.
Workforce Analysis
An honest look at your technology team — capability gaps, succession risks, and where the structure is quietly costing you.

Now also building software with AI
Beyond strategy and advisory, Derek now uses Claude Code to build products directly — websites, internal tools, and MVPs. AI as the development engine, Derek as the technical director. What used to require a dev team and months of runway now ships in weeks, at a fraction of the cost.
See it in practice →- A working product in weeks — not a roadmap for one
- No agency markup, no padded team, no project manager in the middle
- Specs written to engineering standard so developers can build without ambiguity
- One person with the right tools, the judgment to use them, and skin in the game
He's sat in your chair
Twenty years leading technology across multiple industries — and now building software with AI tools that change what one person can deliver. Derek knows the systems, the pressures, and the new possibilities from the inside.
A trusted voice in the room
Boyd & Co exists in the gap between overpriced enterprise consulting and under-qualified freelancers. Derek Boyd spent more than twenty years leading technology at some of BC's best-known companies before founding the firm to give mid-size businesses what he saw them missing: independent advice with no vendor partnerships, no referral fees, and no agenda beyond your outcome.
