Description

I lead high-stakes digital transformations where failure is not an option, most recently delivering a Board-mandated M&A carve-out 5 weeks ahead of schedule. With over 25 years of delivery experience, I bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and strategic business value.

Throughout my career at DXC, Rackspace and Westfield Specialty, I have specialised in orchestrating multi-million-pound portfolios (£35M+) and leading cross-functional teams of up to 90+ specialists. My focus is on creating resilient, scalable infrastructure that supports rapid growth and seamless business transitions. I have proven experience helping organisations navigate complex digital shifts and Managed Services transitions. My approach is built on a simple premise: technical excellence only matters if it aligns with the strategic priorities of the business and the people using it.

Areas where I typically add the most value:

Delivery Leadership: Building and guiding cross-functional teams to meet complex technical milestones.
Stakeholder Alignment: Working closely with senior leadership to ensure project outcomes drive real value.
Operational Control: Maintaining a sharp focus on P&L accountability and risk mitigation.

I believe in a disciplined, resilient approach to work - a mindset I’ve honed through my interests in offshore sailing and kickboxing. I’m always open to connecting with fellow professionals to discuss the evolving landscape of cloud transformation or upcoming project opportunities.
