Transformational Technology Leader.An IT Director with twenty years experience in strategic IT leadership and hands-on implementation of new and emerging technologies. A partner to the business, customers and suppliers, focussed on digital transformation and capability-building aligned with company priorities to improve productivity, user experience, resilience, and ability to manage risk. Over the last ten years I've developed a real passion for digital transformation and how new and emerging technologies can be implemented to enhance the products and services we provide to our colleagues and customers. I've consistently proven myself as someone who can spot an opportunity and relevant technology; there is a fine balance between leading and following and I like to think I get this right (almost all of the time).I like to lead by example and excel at managing and motivating both my own performance and that of others. What’s important is that myself and the team have a real sense of purpose and we understand our ‘why’. Working smarter has become an obsession.Most recently worked on developing a connected and smart enabled building strategy, including a smart digital blueprint for legacy and new build commercial and residential properties. This is a concept I established mid 2018 and am passionate about developing into a powerful platform which will improve operational efficiency, customer experience and help deliver sustainability targets.Specialities: - IT operational leadership skills- Multi-year technology, ops and connectivity strategy and roadmaps- Cloud Computing / SaaS- Cyber Security- Financial management- Procurement/tendering process- Programme and project management [Prince 2 Practitioner]- Technical infrastructure development- Bespoke systems development, testing & delivery- Smart enabled buildings- 5G and in building cellular technology- Workplace wellbeing initiatives- Strong communication skills, experience of communicating at conferences to ~500 delegates
