Five case studies across IT project management, software delivery, Agile coaching, and interim CTO leadership. Names are kept confidential; results are not.
A Dutch auditing firm had embarked on a full migration from Exact to Microsoft Dynamics and Business Central. The project had stalled significantly — deadlines missed, the external implementation partner underdelivering, and internal stakeholders losing confidence.
Mafera M&C stepped in as interim project manager. We identified root causes of the delay, reassigned responsibilities, and put the external party back on a contractual footing. Daily management of progress, risk, and stakeholder communication was taken over entirely.
The project was delivered live within the original target timeline. Internal teams were equipped to manage the new environment independently.
Following the successful ERP implementation, the same firm recognised they needed sustained senior IT leadership. They had no internal CTO function and a growing dependency on external developers.
Engaged as Ad-interim CTO alongside CEO and COO. Built and managed a development team using Scrum, took responsibility for HR, Marketing, Sales and GRC, obtained ISO 17065 and 17020, implemented full IT policy, and rolled out a hardware programme company-wide.
Business targets achieved. IT operations professionalised. ISO certifications obtained. Full handover to internal teams completed.
The CEO needed senior support to overhaul how their core development team worked. Output was inconsistent, bug rates were high, and there was no clear planning process.
Conducted structured interviews with all stakeholders. Designed and implemented a custom Scrum programme. Delivered on-the-job training and coached team members daily.
Productivity increased measurably. Bug rates dropped. Stakeholders gained clear visibility. The team left with both the process and the discipline to maintain it independently.
A Dutch fintech holding needed to professionalise fast. Target customers — large banks — required a stable, secure, and compliant platform before any commercial relationship could begin.
Joined the Management Team as Ad-interim CTO. Implemented Scrum, managed daily engineering operations, took an active role in customer onboarding, and planned and managed the full ISO 27001 certification process.
Major new banking sector customers onboarded. Platform achieved the stability and compliance profile required by financial institutions.
A Dutch software company needed senior technology leadership to professionalise its product and position the business for growth and eventual sale.
Took on the CTO role with an international developer team. Implemented Scrum, managed daily operations of five departments, and played an active role in the due diligence process for the acquisition.
Business successfully scaled, professionalised, and sold to a large corporate acquirer.
Whether it's a project in trouble, a team that needs direction, or an AI initiative — let's talk.
