Executive Leadership

Built on 20 Years of Execution

A technology leader who thinks like a CFO. Someone who can evaluate both the technical systems AND the financial impact—then take accountability for fixing both. This person doesn't exist in the market. We built a firm around being that person.

Principal Profile

A Different Kind of CTO

Mykola Sudarykov
Mykola Sudarykov Founder & Principal

Mykola Sudarykov is a technology executive who speaks the language of business. Where others see checks and balances as hurdles to deployment, Mykola sees them as essential tools for capital preservation and risk management.

Beginning his career building derivatives trading systems for Tier-1 investment banks, he learned early that technical excellence promotes financial performance. A system that crashes isn't just a bug—it's a liability. A feature that doesn't drive revenue is a sunk cost.

He progressed to lead large-scale transformations for major organizations including Just Eat (Cloud Migration), ClearBank (Regulatory Compliance & Banking License), and JACC (Digital Ecosystem Launch). In each role, he didn't just "manage IT"—he took accountability for the P&L impact of technology.

Global Star Consulting was founded on this principle: that technology leadership requires more than just engineering skill. It requires the ability to align technical execution with financial reality.

Career Highlights

  • Just Eat: Led the UK's largest cloud migration, building a team of 100+ engineers and reducing TCO by 40%.
  • ClearBank: Secured the banking licence by implementing clearing systems that satisfied the strictest regulatory standards.
  • JACC (Kuwait): Delivered complete digital ecosystem (Web, iOS, Android) in 6 months with full P&L accountability.
  • Tier-1 Banking: Managing Director level leadership in complex derivatives trading systems, supporting critical daily portfolio re-rolling for the entire department.

How We Work

Why We're Not Like Other Consultancies

You've been burned by consultants before. Here's why we're different.

Principal-Led, Expert-Supported

Mykola leads every engagement personally, with rapid access to our curated network: enterprise architects, cloud engineers, cybersecurity specialists, CFO-level financial advisors, commercial lawyers, procurement experts, and industry subject-matter experts. The right team, assembled fast.

We Take Executive Accountability

We don't hand over recommendations and disappear. We accept operational mandates with full P&L responsibility. When the board asks who's accountable—it's us.

Fixed Outcomes, Not Hourly Billing

We're incentivised to finish the job and leave you self-sufficient. Our goal is to complete the transformation and hand over a functioning operation—not extend the engagement indefinitely.

The Specialist Network

We don't maintain expensive bench capacity. Instead, we've cultivated a network of senior specialists—CTOs, CFOs, enterprise architects, security consultants, legal advisors—who can be mobilised within days. You get exactly the expertise you need, when you need it.

Board-Level Governance

We operate with full transparency. Weekly steering committees, monthly board reporting, and real-time dashboards. Your stakeholders always know exactly where the programme stands—no surprises, no spin.

Planned Exit Strategy

From day one, we plan for our departure. Knowledge transfer, documentation, team upskilling, and handover protocols are built into every engagement. Our success is measured by how well you operate after we leave.

The uncomfortable truth: the combination of financial discipline and technical execution you need doesn't exist as a job category. You can't hire it. You can't train for it. You can only find the rare individuals who've lived both worlds. That's what Global Star is built around.
