A common view of IT is that it is a necessary evil and that IT is functioning correctly as long as it works and it does not embarrass the organisation. I enable organisations to take advantage of their technology investment, making them more effective, reducing costs and increasing profit. I have over twenty years of experience helping businesses get the most from their systems and the teams employed to operate them.
I have successfully directed multi-million-pound digital transformations, infrastructure upgrades, and cloud migrations—reducing risks, improving delivery speed and driving ROI. Skilled in governance, risk mitigation, and cross-functional team leadership, I turn vision into measurable results. For clients, this means predictable, high-impact project delivery, reduced operational friction, and accelerated digital growth. Whether leading large-scale programmes or optimizing PMO frameworks
IT Security is vital for all types of organisation, the potential damage financially and reputationally can be disastrous. Ensuring that systems and processes are implemented and operated correctly makes you far less susceptible to breaches. I have many years of experience working with clients to reduce risk and in securing their systems.
More and more clients and suppliers are insisting on compliance with specific standards, I work with organisations to implement and operate IT and quality based standards including ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
I identify technical risks, synergies, and cost-saving opportunities—ensuring informed deal decisions and smooth post-merger integration. I am experienced in pre-deal IT assessments (covering infrastructure, applications, contracts, and cybersecurity) and post-merger structural design. My approach minimizes business disruption while maximizing technology alignment. I am skilled in carve-outs, cloud migrations, and legacy modernization, turning M&A challenges into strategic advantages.
