Senior IT leadership for private equity and regulated financial services.
Langdon Digital brings senior IT leadership to private equity and regulated financial services. Led by Peter Tucker, 13 years leading Technology at a €14bn AUM pan-European PE firm, building board-level IT governance, regulatory compliance, and enterprise-wide AI implementation.
Six ways Langdon Digital plugs in.
Fractional, interim or advisory — sized to the firm and the moment. Engagements typically start with a short diagnostic and a 90-day plan.
Fractional CIO
Board-level IT leadership. Strategy, vendor governance, budget ownership and an executive face to LPs and auditors.
Governance & risk
Stand up the IT operating model, control framework and policy stack a regulated PE house needs — from acceptable use to incident response.
Regulatory compliance
Map the gap, build the controls, own the audit. Whether you're starting ISO 27001 from scratch or navigating DORA ahead of the mandate, you get a structured programme with a clear end state — not a consultancy report that lands on someone else's desk.
AI enablement
Move from AI curiosity to measurable adoption. Design the policy, choose the right tools, run the rollout — and give your team the training and guardrails to use AI confidently from day one.
Cost & vendor optimisation
Drive per-user IT cost down without losing service quality. Renegotiate licensing, rationalise the stack, and put usage telemetry behind every renewal conversation before the vendor does.
M&A & growth IT
New office, new acquisition, or a headcount that's doubled in eighteen months — build the platform and the processes to absorb growth without a step-change in cost or risk.
Most growing PE firms don't need a 12-person IT team. They need one senior operator who can own the whole stack — strategy, security, suppliers and AI — and translate it for the partners.
Outcomes from 13 years inside a pan-European PE firm.
Selected examples from a CIO tenure scaling a €14bn AUM PE house from 64 to 240+ users across seven countries.
From no formal certification to zero findings — twice.
Took a firm with no formal security certification through to full ISO 27001 in the UK and Luxembourg as ISMS manager and primary implementer. Zero major findings, zero minors and zero RFIs across two consecutive external audits, including the January 2026 interim audit.
Scaled the platform 4× while cutting unit cost 59%.
Grew the user base from 64 to 240+ across seven European offices while driving per-user IT cost down 59%. Achieved through vendor renegotiation, stack rationalisation and a leaner operating model — without compromising service or controls.
DORA controls in place ahead of the deadline.
Briefed the partnership on DORA six months ahead of the mandate and had the control set implemented and operational before the regulator's required date — covering ICT risk management, incident reporting and third-party oversight.
Enterprise AI rolled out to the full firm — safely.
Stood up ChatGPT Enterprise for 190 users, built integrations with Email, Calendars, Egnyte and Notion with 35% month-on-month adoption growth, training programme and usage telemetry the partnership and auditors needed to be comfortable.
Who's behind Langdon Digital.
You work with the person you hired. One senior practitioner — start to finish.
