An experienced architect and leader with strong business and technical skills. I work across multiple projects and programmes, managing business stakeholders, technology partners, project managers, technical teams and customers to ensure successful planning and delivery of IT solutions and services. Having developed as an architect within dynamic, high growth organisations, I’m comfortable with significant operational and commercial pressure and changing business goals. I work closely with strategic partners (e.g. Microsoft, Oracle, Mulesoft, Equinix) across a range of areas and can effectively engage and leverage partner capabilities and services.
