David Viney spent 30+ years leading technology at organisations including WPP, Heathrow, the BBC and BSI before founding Alchemy — bringing FTSE-level CIO experience to businesses that need that calibre of leadership without a full-time hire. He works as a Fractional CIO and AI Transformation Consultant, helping SME and mid-market clients get practical value from AI without the hype: readiness audits, governance frameworks, and hands-on delivery from someone who's actually run technology at scale. ACA and CITP qualified. Alongside client work, David serves as Treasurer of Article 19 and sits on the board of the Inspiring Leadership Foundation.
