The founders
Natalie and Phil Haigh
Seasoned technology operators who build systems with business value first. Enterprise rigour, practical delivery, and client-owned intellectual property.
Natalie Haigh
Fractional CTO & business mentor
Natalie joined Procter & Gamble with a degree in Computer Science and Management as a graduate Systems Analyst and progressed through infrastructure, innovations, and systems leadership roles. She led the networking implementation for a Tesco distribution centre and ran SAP integration projects that saved P&G $1M per year in raw materials.
As Co-founder and Digital Delivery Manager at Mercury1, she sat between clients and development teams, writing requirements, managing sprints, and ensuring delivery matched business value. She knows how to keep complicated projects aligned, on track, and accountable.
Natalie's work is defined by one thing: the right decision made with the right level of detail, so the technology can be built fast and owned with confidence.
Phil Haigh
Technology strategist & enterprise developer
Phil has worked in full-stack development and systems architecture for organisations including Ericsson and 3 Ltd. He has built cloud platforms from scratch, led technical teams through funding rounds, and delivered systems that were ready for acquisition.
He specialises in turning complex technical trade-offs into business decisions, so leaders can choose with confidence and developers can build with clarity.
His founding experience at Mercury1 means he understands the reality of growing a technology business, from the first hire through to a successful exit.
Why this matters
Too many technology engagements are either disconnected from the business or delivered without understanding the people who use it. We sit between those worlds, so the result is both usable and valuable.
Enterprise experience
We have built systems for large organisations and brought that same discipline to smaller businesses that need practical, working technology.
Client-owned IP
Every system we build is yours. Full code and IP remain with the client, so your technology is an asset rather than a liability.
