I am experienced in leading technical implementations both operationally and strategically.
I have a proven track record of delivering business growth through:
Agile portfolio management, Creating winning cultures, Utilizing technology for Innovation and Closing investment funding rounds.
I Graduated from university in 2008 with a 1st Class Hons Degree in Computer Systems Engineering.

A culture of excellence is easy to talk about but hard to replicate.
My personality has lead me to foster excellence in many colleagues and direct reports over the years.
I am well known for sourcing top talent to an organisation and creating motivated development teams.
This has lead to large quantities of referrals reducing the burden on talent acquisition and keeps the needle to the MAX for delivery.
Over the years I have been involved in several successful due diligence processes.
Often I am leading the presentation of the technical and product stages of the funding due diligence.
I am experienced in developing organisations to becoming best in class across numerous product and people related metrics.
This has lead to successful outcomes for many of the deals I have been involved in.
If we were to work together, you will surely learn I am a growth focused leader.
This means I am looking to grow organisations into a modern and industry leading vision of what they can be.
Growth is important for many different reasons in an organisation and is one of my favourite objectives to chase and deliver upon.
I have considerable experience in the successful delivery of IT solutions by forming and leading great teams. I have deep in-depth knowledge of mission-critical information systems from working on many notable projects. To complement this professional experience I have started working on some of my own ideas to drive new product innovations. I am interested in portfolio management focusing on agile delivery and a professional calibre golfer
I have worked on a number of globally notable projects across the world. These projects have all been successful in their own way and have given me a diverse and extensive experience.
