As a seasoned technology leader, I have a proven track record of strategising and managing diverse teams across mobile, desktop, and server platforms. My expertise spans cloud-based services (SaaS), physical medical devices, and advanced AI methodologies, including deep learning and imaging systems. I have successfully led cross-functional teams to develop and deploy innovative solutions on leading cloud platforms such as Azure, GCP, and AWS, with a focus on healthcare technologies like digital pathology, microscopy image analysis, and point-of-care imaging, adhering to the stringent regulatory and standards frameworks of EN62304, ISO13485, TOGAF, and COBIT.My hands-on experience in deep learning and AI includes the use of TensorFlow and Keras for key projects, such as automatic cell classification, IHC scoring, and deep learning for cell and tissue identification, all of which have been crucial for advancing digital pathology. I also bring a deep understanding of enterprise systems governance, aligning enterprise architecture with COBIT and driving large-scale architecture projects within the TOGAF framework.Although my recent roles have been hand off I do maintain hands on certifications,which given the fast moving industry gives fantastic insight practical application.In addition to leading technology innovation,I have played a key role in company exits and intellectual property transfer deals. My patent portfolio includes over 50 international patents in image processing and AI, with groundbreaking innovations in whole slide imaging (WSI) for digital pathology.As a CTO, I combine technical leadership with strategic vision. I am a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET), a Chartered Engineer (CEng), and a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMgr FCMI). My qualifications also include certifications in Agile, PRINCE2, and project management (PMP), along with security and governance credentials such as Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT), and multiple GCP certifications.I am passionate about leading in technology-driven organizations, driving innovation, and delivering transformative results. My approach ensures that cutting-edge technologies are leveraged efficiently, securely, and profitably, aligning technical execution with business strategy to create impactful and sustainable advancements in technology.John Maddison, PhD, MBA, BEng (Hons), PMP, CISA, CISM, CGEIT, CMgr, CEng, FCMI, FIET
