About

I’m a transformational IT leader, working best in environments where I can make a big impact and I’ve got the track record to prove it, being an integral part of lifting companies in their IT maturity and helping them reap the rewards. My experiences range from pulling a horticulture company from a position of significant technical debt and vulnerabilities to flying through ISO27001 with 0 non-conformances, implementing an ITIL framework from scratch, or leading ERP implementation projects. My passion within IT is solving problems, the bigger and more challenging the problems the more I enjoy getting stuck in.
