Trusted judgement over
technical theatrics.
I sit between the boardroom and the server room, translating complex technology into plain English and ensuring IT delivers real business value.
Background
I started in IT in 2000. Since then I have worked across infrastructure, security, cloud, governance, and the systems that businesses actually depend on. I have worked with and alongside many managed service providers, which means I understand how they think, what they prioritise, and where the gaps tend to appear.
It is unlikely you have IT systems, processes, or projects I have not encountered before, whether I have built them, fixed them, or sold them at some point. That depth matters when the decisions are fast and the stakes are real.
BSc Physics · MSc Cyber Security
Physics gave me a way of thinking about problems. The MSc gave me a formal grounding in the field I practice. 25 years of doing the work in real businesses gave me the rest.
How I work
My role is to be a trusted partner for technology decisions, not to manage daily IT operations. I sit above the day-to-day. I challenge suppliers, review spend, identify risk, and make sure the right things get done. When I go hands on, it is to get the right outcome quickly, not to handle tickets.
I am happy to explore risks and opportunities, not just fix what is already broken. The technical depth I carry means I can move fast when something needs to happen and get it done properly.
"I only work with a limited number of businesses at any one time. That is deliberate. I am only interested in clients where I can add significant value. I far prefer long-term relationships over short engagements."
