Where my experience sits

Six areas run through my career, and they rarely get talked about together even though they depend on each other.

IT Strategy & Leadership

Turning technical decisions into plain business terms: what something costs, what it delivers, and whether it’s worth doing, without jargon or vendor-led hype.

AI strategy and adoption

A platform-agnostic evaluation methodology, tested across multiple AI platforms, for moving from experiment to production with real governance.

Vendor and partner relationships

Commercial agreements, co-op and marketing fund management, co-sell alignment and partner tier performance. I’ve worked on both the vendor side and the buyer side.

Governance, risk and compliance

Frameworks that hold up to scrutiny, drawing on auditor-level knowledge of international standards.

Cyber Security

Practical security leadership and governance that protects the business without grinding it to a halt.

Cloud infrastructure

Strategy grounded in more than two decades of hands-on infrastructure engineering.

Community

Alongside this, I invest time in developing technology people and communities: mentoring through the British Computer Society, career coaching with Ada, peer mentoring with the London CTO Club, founding the Techie Brunch Club, a network of over 1,000 technologists, and building Greyface Games, an indie studio focused on accessible game design.

Let’s talk

If any of this is relevant to your event, your team, or someone you’re mentoring, I’d like to hear from you.
