Introduction

I am a strategically astute, passionate Global Technology Leader with over two decades of experience specialising in elevating IT from a support function to a primary business driver. My career has been defined by leading Technology teams and transformative digital programmes across diverse sectors, including Finance (Hedge Funds), Consultancy, and FMCG. I have a proven track record of aligning technology innovation with core business needs, whether that involves driving "Cloud-First" strategies, implementing complex ERP/CRM systems, or leveraging AI and Machine Learning to enhance operational output. I define my leadership style as collaborative, transparent, and outcome-focused. I am equally comfortable communicating with board-level stakeholders to define strategy as I am working alongside technical teams to oversee execution, ensuring every technology initiative provides business value. What makes me an outstanding fractional executive is my ability to plug into an organisation quickly, diagnose what matters most, and translate that into an actionable roadmap that teams can actually deliver.

Key Achievements

My first key achievement was for Investment Management firm, where I defined a strategic IT roadmap in just one month. This rapid turnaround included a comprehensive review of the technology landscape that streamlined the operating model and strengthened governance, resulting in a 30% reduction in IT costs and a 20% increase in operational efficiency. At a conslutancy organisation, I led a global digital overhaul across nine international sites, implementing critical ERP and CRM systems. These initiatives improved operational efficiency while a simultaneous security overhaul vastly improved the security posture. Lastly, I delivered significant value by integrating a businesses into a shared service model. This project involved developing bespoke operating models that reduced IT operational costs and accelerated service delivery. I also oversaw a global infrastructure overhaul for Twinings, ensuring the project met all strategic objectives.
