MD @ Connexus | Leading Global Operations

United Kingdom

About

With over ten years of experience in global operations and technology leadership, I am the MD at Connexus, a leading events organisation. I joined Connexus in October 2023, after serving as a Director and General Manager of Global CIO Institute, a professional network and learning platform for CIOs and IT executives. There, I led the scaling, strategy, and transformation of the organisation, growing its membership, revenue, and impact across multiple regions and sectors. I have a strong background in computer software engineering, having earned my BS degree from the University of South Wales. I have a strong passion for uniting individuals, driving innovation, and achieving excellence for both clients and partners. I leverage my expertise in areas such as business development, project management, stakeholder engagement, and team leadership to make this a reality. I am also committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative culture within Connexus and the wider community, where we can learn from each other and deliver value with integrity and excellence.
