The Position

IT Director

Introduction

TFP Fertility is one of the UK and Europe’s leading fertility networks, delivering world-class clinical care and patient experience across a growing portfolio of clinics. With a focus on scientific excellence, innovation, and patient-first digital services, TFP needed a senior technology leader to future-proof its infrastructure, harmonise systems across EU clinics, and lead a step change in resilience, cyber compliance, and business support.

01

The context

TFP was at a key point in its digital and operational maturity. Following European expansion, the organisation sought to centralise IT leadership under a single, commercially minded IT Director. The successful candidate would need to:

  • Develop and lead a group-wide IT strategy across UK and EU clinics

  • Drive digital transformation, resilience, and cyber maturity

  • Build scalable infrastructure and align tech with business growth

  • Oversee business-critical IT change in a regulated clinical environment

02

The solution

Rinnova led a targeted search, prioritising candidates with:

  • Experience in regulated healthcare settings

  • Proven track record of digital transformation

  • Strong leadership and stakeholder engagement

  • Hands-on technical expertise across security, infrastructure, and EU site management

Alex Sweeting was appointed following a competitive process.

03

The impact

Alex brings over 30 years of healthcare IT leadership, including:

  • Two private equity exits at 4Ways Healthcare

  • Delivery of a hybrid cloud migration to support 25% YoY growth

  • 12 years of ISO 27001 certification and Cyber Essentials Plus

  • Transformation of clinical systems and security governance

Rinnova’s model is unique, rigorous, and refreshingly personal. We felt supported throughout, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them
