About

A rare category of executive who combines genuine CIO-level technology leadership with CFO-level financial commercial discipline and board-grade governance. 25years across banking, telecommunications, utilities, government, and consulting, I have led at this intersection — protecting and creating enterprise value through complex transformation, de-risking critical investment, and building the conditions for large systems to move forward responsibly. What I bring: · - CIO-level technology and cybersecurity leadership - CFO-level financial and commercial discipline - Board and audit/risk governance - Transformation delivery at scale - Cyber, ERP, data, - Operations, and commercial negotiations with direct experience avoiding multi-million-dollar losses and contract exposures - AI strategy through to execution, delivering real return on investment · - Executive and board credibility · - A values-driven leadership style How I lead: Not technology for technology's sake. Not prestige. Technology to drive organisational performance and competitive advantage. I am someone who is comfortable with the reality that meaningful change is uncomfortable, and believes large, complex systems can evolve safely and effectively when led with clarity, integrity, and genuine accountability. "We might not have all the answers, but we are moving in the right direction."
