About

Seasoned tech executive with over 26 years’ experience in value creation, spanning CEO, COO and Chief Transformation Officer roles across enterprise and mid-market SaaS and information services. My career has been shaped by delivering meaningful results in both public and private environments, including senior leadership roles at Sage Group and Experian. I am known for aligning organisations around execution, digitising services around customer needs, scaling revenue streams and building long-term profitable operating capabilities. I’ve operated at C-level across the UK&I, EMEA, APAC, North America and emerging markets. I’ve led cross-functional value-creation programmes across GTM, commercial, technology/digital, HR and back-office functions. Curious, pragmatic and data-driven, I bring a relentless focus on enterprise value creation, grounded in deep customer insight, and the ability to unlock teams to deliver value at pace. I have served as an expert adviser to Bain and now support private equity and investment firms with value-creation, integration and transformation initiatives, with a specialism in hands on AI implementations.
