I'm a highly experienced and motivated strategic technology leader, information security and data privacy specialist with over 30 years of global IT consultancy experience. I have a passion for business growth through technology and more specifically, digital transformation, business process automation and information (ISO27001) and cyber security. I proudly co-founded Economit in 2011 and the business grew to nearly half a million pounds of yearly services-only revenue in under five years. I have a proven track record of performing the services of IT Director/CIO for a multitude of organisations and sectors between £1M - £25M turnover. We are currently providing services for companies in the aerospace, manufacturing, financial services, hospitality, outsourcing and bioscience industries. At Economit, we operate a strict zero commission policy and therefore do not accept any financial incentives from suppliers of IT products or services. This means that everything related to our consultancy services can be trusted to be 100% independent and impartial. We strive to transform the way you utilise technology in your business, whilst maximising operational efficiency and minimising overall IT costs. We can act as your Virtual DPO (Data Protection Officer), Virtual CIO (Chief Information Officer / IT Director) and provide a powerful blend of commercially aware and high technical awareness and experience, to the implementation of ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials - ensuring that you continue to benefit from best practice, cost control and strategic technical direction. All of our recommended changes will be project managed by us, enabling you to concentrate on the other aspects of your business. I'm currently the Head Coach of the Great Britain Wushu Team (Chinese Martial Arts) and serve on the executive board of the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts. I was the first (and currently only) British coach to have produced a world champion in the sport.If you'd like to know more about how I can help your business, email me at mike@economit.co.uk or call 01332 447447.
