Leading with Moral Courage: Purpose, People & “Good Enough” Tech with Ryan Preece, Deputy CTO at The King’s Trust

Technology in the third sector isn’t about perfection — it’s about impact.

In this episode of CXO Secrets, David McClelland is joined by Ryan Preece, Deputy CTO at The King’s Trust, to explore moral courage, mission-driven leadership, and building technology that is “good enough” to make a real-world difference. Drawing on experience across the MOD, HMRC, RNLI, and The King’s Trust, Ryan explains why leadership in resource-constrained environments depends more on purpose and clarity than on technical expertise.

They discuss modernising decades-old systems, right-sizing capabilities, balancing financial prudence with mission-first decisions, and preparing young people for an AI-enabled future.

A must-listen for technology leaders in the third sector seeking to create meaningful impact through thoughtful, values-driven leadership.
