In today’s competitive operating environment, the businesses positioned to thrive are those willing to take risks and embrace change. I am a strongly results-driven senior executive with exceptionally deep and broad experience spanning commercial and corporate environments. Over the course of my career, I’ve established a reputation as a visionary leader who swiftly gets to the heart of business nuances to capitalise on opportunities, I have a flair for propelling businesses forward, whether the priority is regaining momentum, capitalising on emerging technology, penetration of new markets, ecosystem partnership building, digital transformation, taking a new solution to market or expansion via acquisition. My career started at Microsoft and since then I have delivered great outcomes for businesses of varying sizes, including PE-backed companies, start-ups and multinationals.Selected Career Highlights:• Engineered a £30M pipeline in just 2 months at Aquila Heywood and returned the business to growth after it had plateaued.• Navigated ITM through the PE-packed acquisition of Profund and the subsequent integration as a member of the Exec Team. • Cultivated a strategic alliance between Altus and ITM for the co-development of the government Pensions Dashboard solution. • Catalysed $50M of group new business whilst heading up EMEA for Microsoft MapPoint geospatial product.My best work happens in dynamic, curious environments where innovation is valued and people are open-minded to strategic change while continuing to support the BAU. I enjoy being part of a team with diverse knowledge and perspectives. Being thrown in the deep end and getting out there, meeting people and partnering is what energises me. There is finally change emerging across many legacy technology spaces and I’m excited to witness new thinking around technology adoption and capabilities within the sector. Looking ahead I want to continue to create value for an ambitious company seeking to accelerate revenue growth into new markets and sectors. Outside of work, I’m a busy father to two sporty boys. I also enjoy mentoring individuals, teams and businesses. If you’re a head-hunter or recruiter looking for a senior leader with integrity and an exceptional track record of results who can deliver both tactically and strategically, let’s talk. New connections and networking opportunities are welcomed.
