Where we specialise
eTrading & financial markets technology
Mark McKee has deep hands-on experience across FX, equities, crypto and commodities; building and running low-latency trading platforms, pricing infrastructure and execution systems at institutional scale. If your trading technology is the core of your business, this is where Agile Mind is uniquely qualified.
AI adoption & governance
We help fintech leaders navigate AI confidently, identifying where it adds genuine value, where the risks lie, and how to govern it responsibly. This covers everything from AI usage policy and data protection to agentic AI oversight and board-level briefings. See our dedicated AI consulting page for more detail.
Are you on top of preventing your employees being phished by malicious external AI and social engineering attacks?
Technology organisational assessment
One of the most valued services we offer is a structured assessment of your technology organisation's relative strengths, weaknesses and maturity. We look across software, infrastructure, data, processes and client experience; surfacing the issues that aren't making it to leadership. Clients are consistently surprised by what we find: manual processes running under the radar, testing gaps causing production defects, ownership confusion on client queries, cybersecurity treated as an IT problem rather than a business one.
Business turnaround & crisis management
When a technology function is failing: missed deliveries, a CTO departure, a platform crisis, an unhappy investor, we come in and fix it. We've stepped into interim CTO roles at short notice and delivered results that restored confidence at board level.
Team building & engineering culture
Great technology comes from great teams. We hire, mentor and lead engineering organisations — building the culture of delivery and accountability that sustains performance beyond any single engagement.
About Mark McKee
Why we are your best choice:
Bringing together CTO and managing director-level experience in technology strategy, architecture and hands-on implementation, Mark McKee is in a different category from advisors who have only ever operated in one part of the business.
Mark specialises in eTrading across FX, equities, crypto and commodities, and payments technology, but his real edge is the ability to operate at every level simultaneously: from board-level strategy to the technical detail of a Rust-based low-latency components, and everything in between. He has the people skills to motivate and inspire engineering teams and the gravitas to win the confidence of investors and executives.
"Never underestimate the power of people skills in a technology environment. Without being able to lead cohesive teams, nothing meaningful is achieved for the client."
