FuseLab Digital

A handful of clients at a time. On purpose.

The technology leadership your business is missing.

Not an agency. Something rarer.

Agencies sell you a process, then staff it with whoever's free. With FuseLab, you work with the founders.

Deon and Sanja Heunis have spent two decades building digital businesses, and now bring that experience to a select few clients. When you work with FuseLab, the people who scope the work are the people who do it. No layers. No hand-offs. No juniors learning on your budget.

The founders

The people you meet are the people you get.

Co-Founder · Technology

Deon has spent 25 years building technology businesses and the systems behind them. He co-founded Swipe iX and led it as CTO and Managing Director through its acquisition by Media24, and co-founded WeChatBuilder, acquired by MultiChoice. He has shipped for WeChat, DStv, and Discovery Networks UK — and he still writes code. Scalable architecture, digital transformation, and AI-driven automation are home ground.

Co-Founder · Product & Delivery

Sanja is the reason things ship. With 14 years across product delivery, project leadership, and business analysis — at Swipe iX and now in fractional leadership roles, including Head of Product Delivery at Open Access Energy — she closes the gap between strategy on a slide and software in production.

How we work

Three engagement shapes. All of them senior, all of them run by the founders.

01

Embedded, fractional

We join your leadership team for a set number of days per week. You get a CTO or Head of Product & Delivery who's done it before — without the full-time hire.

02

Fixed scope, fixed price

Due diligence, architecture reviews, and discovery sprints with a clear start, a clear end, and a deliverable you can act on.

03

Advisory retainer

A senior sounding board for founders and executive teams. Decisions age better when someone in the room has made them before.

Who we work with — and who we don't

A good fit

  • Founders and executives who need senior technology and product leadership — without a full-time hire.
  • Scale-ups whose platform is creaking under growth.
  • Investors and boards who need the truth about a codebase.
  • Teams with a product that's stuck and a deadline that isn't.

The wrong call

  • If you're looking for the cheapest quote, we're not it.
  • If you want a body shop, we don't rent bodies.
  • If you expect a pitch team that disappears after signing — the people you meet are the people you get. There is nobody else.

Four ways in.

Every engagement is run by the founders — scoped honestly, staffed senior, and measured by what ships.
