We’ve built it. Not just advised on it.
Senior expertise, personally accountable. The judgement of people who have delivered complex change in regulated organisations, and stay until it works.
Joavora
DIRECTOR LED CONSULTANCYJoavora is a director led consultancy. Every engagement is led personally by the director, who has spent fifteen years delivering technology change in regulated organisations and, since 2020, has focused on AI, data platforms and cyber security. Across that time our director has delivered over £100 million worth of projects. This describes programme experience, not Joavora’s revenue or company size.
One delivery team was scaled personally from one to eight, and projects have been delivered with over 100 people involved. Clients are supported by our own delivery teams and a bench of specialist associates in data engineering, cloud architecture, AI, security and IT service management. Where clients need capability of their own, we build and scale their engineering team.

Joel was hired to help with our expansion of R&D delivery services. He came in and immediately took control of the teams, setting up and managing multiple teams with professionalism and efficiency. He quickly became a central and trusted figure, and helped us successfully deliver our biggest release ever.
Joel stands out as a strategic and dependable leader who consistently delivers value in high pressure environments. He brings a rare blend of delivery excellence, technical fluency and stakeholder empathy, and excels at aligning delivery with business priorities.
An exceptional consultant who made a significant impact on our team’s productivity and success across multiple projects. His leadership skills, coupled with a deep understanding of agile principles, have consistently helped us meet and often exceed our project goals.
Joel joined a fast-paced, complicated product team and got up to speed rapidly. Through carefully curated sessions he pinpointed team challenges within weeks, then tested and implemented new ways of working to optimise delivery.
The best Agile Coach I have worked with so far. Vastly experienced in Agile and Scrum methodologies, with a meticulous eye for detail that gave me peace of mind on key projects.
A tenacious approach to getting things done. Joel consistently impressed me by tackling challenges that others before him had struggled to overcome.
