Businesses running toward a medium- to long-term goal, whether that’s top-line growth, cost reduction, efficiency gains, an M&A process or compliance adherence, often carry inefficiencies and performance blockers they can’t see from the inside. Trevor spots those blockers and builds the operational architecture to remove them, for leaders who see technology as a genuine solution rather than a necessary overhead.
He’s a Fractional CIO based in Pietermaritzburg with 20+ years of experience across the UK, US, South Africa, EMEA and APAC, including roughly 15 years within WPP, a UK-based global organisation of 150,000 people, working across its different operations, alongside experience with startups and scale-ups. His core expertise centres on digital transformation, service management within IT, and governance, built through years in large, heavily audited corporates. He works from an Agile form of PRINCE2 for PMO and architecture, applies ITIL frameworks for service management, and favours custom-built operational processes over off-the-shelf systems, on the belief that how a business runs is part of what makes it competitive, not something to standardise away.
He built a digital transformation PMO for a global PR powerhouse that drove efficiencies across Finance, HR and Operations, with the first initiative alone delivering savings of over 700,000 USD per annum. His client history includes WPP, Burson, Wunderman Thompson, Mindshare, DHL, Bank of Ireland, AECI and Oceana, spanning finance, PR, advertising, distribution, logistics, drones and robotics, and construction.
Trevor’s approach is simple: innovate and move forward. He’s spent two decades doing exactly that inside some of the most heavily audited organisations around.
