Portsmouth, England, United Kingdom
Digital transformation leader driving scalable impact through platform architecture, GTM strategy, and innovation delivery across EMEA and beyond. With 25+ years at IBM, Cognizant, Elastic Path, and Akinon, I’ve led global solution teams, built composable commerce practices, and shaped AI‑driven enablement programs. Across three decades I’ve chosen permanent leadership roles when they aligned to impact, while also advising through my consultancy. Open to fractional, interim, fixed‑term, or permanent mandates. I architect clarity from complexity: scaling ecosystems, designing modular platforms, and energizing technical bootcamps. I bring calm to chaos, precision to storytelling, and energy to every engagement, whether in boardrooms, project execution, industry evangelising or visioning workshops.
Founded and continue to lead a precision‑led boutique consultancy, advising C‑suite leaders and engaging with clients and partners to rejuvenate technology landscapes, accelerate execution, and align transformation programs with measurable business outcomes.
