About

As a Tech leader with 11+ years, I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with modern technology driving global delivery, AI innovation, and strategic operational excellence across EMEA, APAC & North America. I have enjoyed many executive positions throughout my career in product and program management, software service delivery, technical sales, digital consultancy, and strategy. Personal focus is to practice mindfulness techniques to enhance focus on self-awareness, calmness and gain clarity about wider purpose of life’s journey. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging tech, creating software products or football.
