The past 4.5 years have been a blast ! Joining Micro Focus in 2019, actively involved in the sale of the whole company to OpenText nearly 18 months ago, and then refocusing the Open Text global mobility function which is now fit for the future. Having not had a break from work for decades, I will take the summer off, swim and kayak in the sea, walk on hills and take a deep breath ........... to be ready for my next adventure.

Established in 1976, Micro Focus delivers IT solutions that bridge the existing and the new, allowing customers to side-step the prospect of digitally transforming from scratch. This helps IT work harder for longer and allows clients to run and transform at the same time. Micro Focus has 12,000 employees in 49 countries and an annual revenue in 2019 of USD3.3billion.
