B2B Business Leader and Board Advisor, with 39+ years working at Board level in IT Services/Operational Risk/Cloud/Comms Industries. From a youngster in a 1980’s start-up, I’ve since worked as Operations Director and then MD under Private & Private Equity ownership & taken part in a UK FTSE IPO. I subsequently worked at Board level in a listed PLC environment for 20 yrs+ in organisations with £700M+ pa T/O & 3,000 + staff, delivering high growth through both organic means and multiple M&A. I’ve worked with 1,000s of clients, from SMEs to Global Brands & Government Departments, helping them design, implement and then maintain award winning IT, Data/Data Protection, Business Continuity & Operational Risk mitigation strategies, both in the U.K. and Globally. I've seen high growth, worked through recessions and navigated many market trends. I understand first-hand the challenges faced by Businesses, either as someone responsible for owning the P&L; managing investor expectations; or as an advisor offering expertise to others seeking to acquire/sell and/or improve/grow their business. Over the years, my industry peers have acknowledged this expertise and I am a recipient of both Industry (IT & Risk) and Business Awards (IoD Regional Large Business Director Finalist). I am also a proud Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers and a Freeman of the City of London. I am innovative and customer/solution oriented and look forward to meeting and helping many more clients achieve their aims - perhaps I can help you?
