Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Fellows is a security-cleared digital strategy and consulting director who blends 13+ years of executive technology leadership with hands-on delivery experience across Financial Services and Defence. He has led and transformed large teams and supplier ecosystems (450+ staff and 250+ supplier FTEs), building product-led operating models, driving cloud migrations and securing board-level investment for multi-year digital strategies at scale. As former CIO of a £50bn mutual he delivered measurable cost, risk and NPS improvements while embedding DevOps, SAFe governance and a culture of visible, emotionally intelligent leadership. He’s experienced in acquisitions, divestitures, site consolidations and complex TUPE transitions where he sustained service levels and low sickness/attrition under pressure. Now at Mozaic he combines a cleared consulting capability with pragmatic operating model design for Defence and other CIOs, focusing on tooling, AI-ready data, cloud and strategic sourcing. Unusually for an executive, he founded a fintech product and remains comfortable moving between greenfield startups and highly regulated, enterprise transformations.
