Solution development
Turn ideas into working products. I lead or support the development of new solutions and features, including technology selection and analysis, from prototype through to production.
Technology and telecoms consultancy
Deep domain expertise, on demand
Thirty two years across telecoms, mobile networks, AI and edge. I help businesses build, position and ship technology, then hand it back running.
I am Alex Taylor. I work directly with founders, investors and technology teams to develop solutions, take products to market and steady delivery. When a job needs more hands, I bring in a trusted network of specialists.

What I do
Go to market and commercialisation
Position and price for growth. I work with your team on product fit, sales and marketing strategy, and testing with real customers, then help turn it into a repeatable commercial offer.
Fractional leadership and management support
Senior support when you need it. I fill temporary gaps in your leadership, cover spikes in workload, and drive project delivery, whether that is technical, product or commercial.
Technical due diligence
Clear eyes for investors. I assess technology, development and operations, check they are in sync, and where needed restructure teams and reorganise delivery.
AI adoption and agentic workflows
Practical AI inside your business. I help organisations adopt AI and build agent workflows, including harnesses that stay independent of any single model.
Innovation and grant funded R&D
From idea to funded delivery. I lead innovation programmes and bids, including Innovate UK projects and joint work with mobile operators and hyperscalers.
