I am passionate about empowering organizations to thrive through technology. With over 20 years of experience as Head of IT, IT Director, and CIO across healthcare, defence, and tech sectors, I excel at delivering large-scale digital transformations in demanding, regulated environments.

My strength lies in aligning IT strategy with business goals to reduce costs, accelerate delivery, and minimize risk. Iโ€™m skilled at guiding multi-national teams, simplifying complex platforms, and driving compliance with ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, and Zero Trust frameworks.
