Summary
Steve Webster is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 17 years of experience helping startups scale through resilient engineering and product-focused architecture. As CTO and cofounder of Tails.com and now running Technology Leadership Consulting, he specialises in diagnosing the "invisible" tech problems that stall Series A companies and acting as a fractional CTO, mentor and coach. His background spans front-end architecture at Yahoo, web architecture at LOVEFiLM/Amazon and hands-on platform and CMS development from early agency days, giving him rare full-stack fluency and operational rigour. Based in Crowthorne, England, he pairs pragmatic engineering practices—CI, performance, accessibility and maintainability—with leadership that translates technical complexity into investor-ready roadmaps. An experienced trainer and builder of extensible systems, he consistently focuses on making engineering processes a competitive advantage rather than a bottleneck.
