Profile
I make IT a natural part of how the business runs, delivering maximum value at the right cost.
For more than 25 years I have led IT in demanding environments, from global management consulting firms and leading law firms to regulated financial services. Strategy, operations, security and suppliers, through growth and transformation, with full accountability for the outcome. I bring extensive hands‑on experience of regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and DORA, and of ISO standards, not least ISO/IEC 27001.
I turn innovation, including AI, into practical results with the right safeguards in place. I stay close to my clients, guide them through high-stakes change with a steady hand, and build organisations that grow stronger over time.
