About

In 2013 I co-founded LeadDev with Ruth Yarnit. We publish content and conferences for leaders in software engineering teams around the world, developing their tech, team and tools to advance their businesses. Check out leaddev.com for more. Prior to that, and for 16 years I ran White October, a digital product consultancy offering creative strategy, UX, design, and product development services, giving me a broad expertise in designing and growing digital businesses. I hold a small number of advisory positions with EdTech and Publishing businesses. I always love to meet new folk, but don't just connect without a message if I don't already know you...
