Why Fennec Ridge

The independent voice in a room full of vendors.

Most AI and cloud advice comes from someone with something to sell. We don't.

01

Senior-led

You work directly with the founding partner. No juniors, no handover.

02

Genuinely independent

No platform, product or reseller margin. The advice serves your decision, not a roadmap.

03

Built inside the hyperscalers

Fifteen years of architecture leadership at AWS and Microsoft, including the questions an account team would rather you didn't ask.

Senior judgement for the AI and cloud decisions that have to stand up to scrutiny.
The Fennec Ridge approach
When clients call

The conversation usually starts in one of four rooms.

Client work stays confidential. In general terms, this is where engagements begin.

Before approval

An AI workload is ready to leave pilot. The security review is not.

The approval forum is asking questions the team can't yet answer. We shape a defensible position before the meeting.

Typical form: an advisory sprint ahead of a governance gate.
During delivery

A programme needs design authority, and no one senior is holding it.

Decisions are made in sprint ceremonies with nothing to challenge them. We hold the line, without adding a permanent role.

Typical form: fractional design authority on a defined programme.
Under scrutiny

A customer, auditor or regulator wants assurance you can't yet evidence.

The controls may exist, but the account of them does not. We build the single narrative you can stand behind everywhere.

Typical form: an evidence and assurance engagement.
At a crossroads

A cloud or sovereignty decision is too consequential for vendor advice alone.

The account team is enthusiastic; the board wants an independent view. We have no platform to sell, and have worked inside both.

Typical form: an independent architecture review.
Start here

Begin with a private conversation.

A focused call about the decision in front of you and what the next step needs.

What you're left with

A decision the room can act on.

A coherent record, enough to move forward without publishing the method.

Engagements run as a defined sprint, a fixed term mandate, or counsel on retainer.

Mandates are limited, and often begin by introduction.

Retained by regulated SaaS and technology firms, financial services and fintech, public sector, and sovereignty sensitive organisations.
