Regional Director, Enterprise Sales UK&I @ Zscaler | ex ServiceNow & Oracle

About

With 15 years in enterprise technology, I’ve delivered measurable impact for global multinational clients like HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds and top-tier Legal, Retail, and Consumer brands - transforming operations, modernising experiences, and unlocking value through cloud innovation. My experience spans APAC and EMEA, where I’ve scaled teams, built CxO relationships, and led regional GTM strategies to grow product-line sales. Increasingly, my focus is on helping organisations harness the power of AI to enhance productivity, streamline decision-making, and reimagine both customer and employee experiences. Outside of work, I find balance through travel and tennis, whether I’m exploring new places or chasing a backhand down the line. I'm passionate about continuous growth and always curious about what's next - especially at the intersection of enterprise innovation, people, and technology.
