As EA Global Lead, I was accountable for application, information, and security architecture across the group and for ensuring the architectures and technologies that my team recommended and enforced were fit for the purposes of our businesses. Led a team of enterprise architects with the remit to ensure that each business unit and client had an agreed change and investment roadmap to reach their target operating models. In their areas of specialisation, I helped my team develop insights, set direction, prioritise in the event of conflict, and rebalance their workloads.Enterprise Architecture expresses the structure of organisations and systems in ways that highlight the risks and implications of investment in change, helping you think more clearly about the decisions you’re about to make.Our primary goal is to aid in investment decisions in order to provide maximum business value today and in the future.

Some days you'll find me 8 meters in the air, persuading folks that jumping off is a good idea. Like many endeavours, flying trapeze is all about optimising risks and pushing at the boundaries of what's possible. Proud to support the founders in building a business that also has a safety net.

Key challenges during my tenure in 'services' (Insurance & Repairs) include a major shift from using a 3rd-party underwriter to bringing that function into the group, with the attendant tax, regulatory, and technical challenges, as well as meeting requirements of the newly-empowered FSA.
