INDEPENDENT INTERIM CIO / IT DIRECTOR

I turn around IT and digital organizations when the outcome is on the line.

A leadership gap, merger, carve-out, major transformation or underperforming IT function: I step in with senior accountability, establish what is happening and lead what needs to happen next. Independent, principal-led and grounded in executive IT experience.

M&A & Transactions

Buying or selling a company?

For an acquisition, buyer-side IT Due Diligence exposes the risks that can change price, structure, integration cost, and day-one continuity before close. For a sale, seller-side Exit Readiness fixes what a buyer's advisors would otherwise use against the transaction.

Executive confidence

Why organizations bring in Galactus

Galactus is principal-led. Every mandate is led directly by Sven Van Roosenbroek, bringing CIO-level judgment into situations where IT complexity is slowing decisions, delivery, or transformation.

The work does not stop at a report. The mandate resets ownership, governance, decision cadence and execution, leaving the organization stronger and easier to control.

Meet Sven Van Roosenbroek

Senior from day one

The person who frames the advice is the person accountable for the work.

Independent by design

No reseller agenda, referral fees, commissions, or vendor incentives. Recommendations serve the client decision only.

Evidence that survives scrutiny

Claims count only when demonstrated. Critical findings cannot hide behind a good average.

Capability left behind

Stronger ownership, clearer governance, and a team able to carry the work forward.

Bring the situation to a direct conversation.

Thirty minutes is enough to establish the situation, the accountability required and whether the right next step is an interim mandate, an independent review or no engagement at all.
