    Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
    Having orchestrated the successful migration and sale of Digital Safe to Smarsh for £375m, I am currently immersed in providing technology evaluation, market entry strategy, and project management consultancy, supporting investment funds managed by global financial institutions and hedge funds towards achieving their expansion goals, restructuring operations, venturing into novel markets, and financing groundbreaking acquisitions. Beyond my professional endeavours, I am passionate about local community social causes advancing Cambridge's stature as 'Europe's science capital' through my active collaboration with the Cambridge Residents Group (CRG) and dedicating my efforts as a trustee for Freedom Fighters offering solace and support to those grappling with the mental impacts of substance misuse and further empowered in 2023, by securing a three-year grant from the Scottish Government’s Local Support Fund.

    Tasked by the CEO of Micro Focus to lead the Micro Focus Digital Safe division, the world's largest live-streaming regulated SaaS compliance platform, I was entrusted with a mandate to tackle a series of critical challenges: daily service outages, stalled deployments, poor sales performance, upgrade delays of up to two years, and misaligned operations. Through the implementation of a comprehensive three-fold strategy, I successfully addressed these issues, realigning the division's focus and operational efficiency. This strategic overhaul ultimately positioned the business for a successful sale, culminating in its acquisition by Smarsh Inc., at a valuation of $375 million.
