About

Executive-level technology leadership, delivered.

Code Xenon is an executive technology consultancy. We work with founders, boards, and investors who need senior technology leadership, to set direction, drive transformation, or de-risk a deal.

Our practice covers four areas: Fractional CTO / VP Engineering leadership for companies that need strategic technology ownership without a full-time hire; AI and technology transformation for organisations moving from legacy or manual processes to AI-enabled operations; architecture and delivery of regulated platforms and digital assets across FinTech and PropTech; and security, compliance, and risk programs built on hands-on CISO/DPO experience.

We bring deep hands-on experience across architecture, engineering leadership, and emerging technology, paired with the communication skills to operate at board and investor level. We work in close partnership with our clients, embedded in their context rather than advising from a distance.

Services

Fractional CTO / VP Engineering

Executive technology leadership for founders and boards who need a senior operator, not a consultant. We take ownership of the technology roadmap, build and lead engineering organisations, and represent technology at the executive and investor table, drawing on years of hands-on CTO and VP Engineering experience across regulated and high-growth platforms.

  • Technology strategy, roadmap, and org design
  • Engineering leadership, hiring, and team scaling
  • Architecture governance and vendor/partner management
  • Board, investor, and executive-level reporting

AI & Technology Transformation

Guidance for organisations moving from legacy or manual processes to AI-enabled operations. We have led AI adoption across engineering, compliance, finance, and operations, including AI-assisted review workflows and decision-support systems, and bring that experience to help clients identify high-value use cases and adopt them responsibly.

  • AI opportunity mapping and adoption strategy
  • AI-enabled workflow and decision-support integration
  • Legacy modernisation and cloud-native re-architecture
  • Organisational change and team enablement

Regulated Platforms & Digital Assets

Deep experience architecting and delivering regulated platforms across FinTech, PropTech, and digital assets, including tokenization, custody, identity, payments, and wallet infrastructure, built to satisfy regulators, partners, and institutional stakeholders while remaining ready to scale.

  • Regulated platform architecture and delivery
  • Tokenization, custody, and digital asset infrastructure
  • Identity, payments, and wallet system design
  • Regulatory and market-entry technical planning

Security, Compliance & Risk

Hands-on CISO/DPO experience establishing security, privacy, and governance practices inside regulated businesses. We help clients build audit-ready programs and integrate security and privacy by design into engineering delivery, rather than bolting it on after the fact.

  • Security, privacy, and governance program design
  • Regulatory audit readiness and support
  • Incident response and business continuity planning
  • Security and privacy-by-design engineering practices
