Fractional CIO, IT health checks and board-level tech advice
Some problems need a senior hire. Some need senior advice first. Talent Divers does both.
Jose A. Perez was CIO at HammondCare, Ingham's and InvoCare. Ingham's and InvoCare were owned by private equity firm TPG at the time. He has run IT functions, fixed them and reported on them to boards. Now he offers that experience a few days at a time. Based in Sydney, working across Australia.

Practical, senior and independent
A few days a month of experienced CIO leadership. For organisations too small for a full-time CIO, or between CIOs.
Set direction, steady the team, manage vendors and report to the board in plain language. When you are ready to hire, we can run that IT executive search too.
A short review of your systems, team, spend and risk.
It ends in a clear plan. What to fix now, what can wait and what to stop. Written for the CEO and board, not just the IT team.
An independent tech view when the stakes are high.
Due diligence, acquisitions and big programs. Straight answers on risk, cost and capability, from someone who has been the CIO in a PE-owned business.
Leaders who need a senior tech view, not another vendor pitch
You don't have a CIO, or yours has just left. You need someone senior to own technology for a while.
You are buying, merging or funding a big program. You want an independent view on the tech before you commit.
You have more pilots and ideas than budget. You want a sounding board on what to back and what to drop.
ASX, PE-backed, NFP and multinational businesses. Based in Sydney, working on site or remotely across Australia.
Client names stay private
Simple steps. No theatre.
You explain the problem. Jose tells you honestly whether he can help.
A short written scope. What we will look at, how long it takes and what you get at the end.
Hands-on, with your people. Regular check-ins so nothing lands as a surprise.
You finish with a plan you can act on. If it needs a hire, we can help with that too.
Advisory sits alongside our recruitment work
Talent Divers is a boutique executive tech search firm. Hiring IT leaders is still the core of what we do. Advisory came from the same place: CEOs and boards asking for a CIO-level view before they decide what to do next.

Straight answers
An experienced CIO who works with you part time, usually a few days a month. You get senior judgement on technology without a full-time hire.
Recruitment finds you the right leader. Advisory gives you senior advice now, or helps you work out what role you actually need. Some organisations need both. It can start with one conversation.
It is designed to be short. The timing depends on the size of your organisation and what you want reviewed. We agree it up front on the first call.
Yes. Jose A. Perez is based in Sydney and works with organisations across Australia, on site or remotely.
No. If a hire is the right answer, we will say so. If it is not, we will say that too.
You explain what is going on. Jose asks a few questions and tells you honestly whether he can help, and how. No sales script.
