Twenty-five years inside the organisations this site talks to
Ovett & CxO isn't a generalist consultancy applying the same playbook everywhere. It's built on direct experience of what "regulated" actually feels like from the inside — in more than one sector and more than one role.
Chris has spent over 25 years in Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Strategy, Product Management, and Innovation leadership, working across professional services, life sciences technology, unified communications, global telecom, and public sector education. That range matters because regulated environments share structural challenges — procurement, governance, audit, accountability — even when the specific regulations differ.
Alongside the executive background, there's a genuinely hands-on technical streak. Recent projects include building a bespoke AI-assisted career intelligence tool and an open-source, AI-powered UK job-matching platform — evidence this is someone who still builds, not just advises.
