Claire Davidson
I founded my consultancy in 2019 after two decades working across the full IT ecosystem — as a customer, as a supplier, and now as an independent consultant to purpose‑led organisations.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen the same challenges repeat: technology that doesn’t quite fit, suppliers and customers talking past each other, and operational teams left carrying the weight of unclear decisions. My work exists to change that.
My Approach
I combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. I translate complexity into plain English, build confidence across teams, and create the conditions for technology to genuinely support organisational goals.
Clients describe me as a trusted critical friend — someone who brings clarity, calm, and momentum to complex situations.
Consultancy Experience
My career gives me a rare 360° viewpoint of the IT ecosystem. I’ve worked at varied levels across all three sides of the table, experiencing first-hand the pressures, constraints and expectations that shape decision‑making, delivery and outcomes.
