This includes leading multi‑year digital transformation programmes, modernising housing management platforms, and aligning IT roadmaps with organisational goals and regulatory requirements. Core strengths include:Digital transformation in housing and non‑profit environments – moving from legacy stacks to modern, cloud‑based platforms while keeping services stable.Data and insight – turning operational data into meaningful dashboards for boards and execs, enabling better decisions on homes, safety, and investment. Leadership and culture – building high‑performing, purpose‑driven technology teams and working closely with operations, finance, and customer‑facing leaders. Beyond the day job, there is a strong interest in thought leadership: writing about digital housing, ESG, and tech leadership; speaking at sector events; and using platforms like LinkedIn to share practical lessons from real transformation work. There is also a focus on mentoring emerging leaders and championing more inclusive, values‑driven technology careers in the social sector. If you work in housing, non‑profits, or adjacent sectors and want to talk about digital strategy, data, or how to get more from your existing tech stack, feel free to connect or send a message.
