Colin Howlett

Fractional CTO

Setting business strategy and product strategy bringing order, structure and quality of delivery to fast scaling businesses are my specialities.With more than a decade of experience as a CTO I've built and scaled multiple hardware and software businesses across Europe.At tiko I delivered zero minutes of unplanned downtime by building a culture of excellence, comprehensive tooling, process discipline and automation.

Board Advisor

In a rapidly changing world, well-informed governance is essential. I understand the regulatory challenges of the EU's AI Act, Data Act, Cyber Resilience Act, and GDPR, as I have led compliance activities for all of them in the context of a highly regulated industry.Unlocking the potential of AI while also putting in safeguards to avoid the many pitfalls is a critical challenge I have already addressed.

IoT & AI

IoT and AI form the backbone of the new industrial revolution. I span the worlds of hardware and software, leading the design and high quality high volume manufacture of certified consumer electronics in Europe and Asia and building the data intensive cloud infrastructure to manage hundreds of thousands of devices in real time.My decades of experience with machine learning and AI allowed the data science team I built at tiko to deliver millions in revenue built on AI forecasting of energy consumption at international scale.
