Fractional technology and product leadership for regulated industries.
Governance, delivery, and product decisions that hold up under audit, procurement, and regulatory scrutiny — without slowing you down.
Why regulated industries need different leadership
Technology decisions in life sciences, financial services, telecom, and the public sector carry a different kind of weight. It's not just "will this work" — it's "will this survive an audit, a regulator's inspection, a procurement challenge, or a board-level review."
Ovett & CxO exists for that gap: senior technology and product leadership that treats compliance, procurement, and accountability as first-class requirements — not obstacles to work around.
25+ years across regulated sectors
Life sciences (IDBS/Danaher), global telecom (Vodafone), professional services (BDO), and public sector education (NCC/Capita) — genuine depth across multiple regulated environments, not one sector stretched thin.
Governance that keeps pace with delivery
Practical frameworks aligned to the EU AI Act, GxP, data regionality, and sector-specific compliance — built to unblock projects rather than stall them.
Fractional, not full-time
Senior leadership scaled to the engagement. You get the experience without the permanent headcount or the consultancy day-rate overhead.
Services
Technology & Product Leadership
Choosing, building, and roadmapping technology that meets real user and organisational need — in environments where every decision needs to be defensible.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
AI and data governance frameworks that are audit-ready and regulation-aligned, designed to speed up sign-off rather than slow it down.
Delivery & Transformation Assurance
Risk-managed delivery and partnership structures for complex, multi-stakeholder programmes where failure has regulatory or public consequences.
Built on experience inside these organisations
This isn't a generalist consultancy applying the same playbook everywhere. Ovett & CxO is built on direct experience of what "regulated" actually means from the inside — across GxP-regulated life sciences platforms, global telecom programmes, regulated financial services, and large-scale public sector delivery.
