Stuart Robinson is a Programme Director, Connected Car. Colleagues describe him as "Stuart and I worked together in Telecom Systems at Vodafone UK, where he worked as the Head of UK System Engineering. Stuart led and managed a high-performing team that were critical to Vodafone's network and he was very respected by his peers, his staff and his customers. Stuart is pragmatic, persuasive, a strategic thinker and above all, brave. He's not frightened of taking a calculated risk - in particular I remember Stuart saving Vodafone millions of pounds annually by questioning how and who provided a managed service and moving to a more effective model. I hope to be able to work with Stuart again - he's a sincere, open and honest and brings a wealth of experience." and "From 1993 to 1994 I was in charge of setting up the Vodafone mobile network in Australia, responsible for the switches, network and setup of the telephony services. Stuart led the design team in England that created all the necessary configuration data to be loaded and then came out to Australia to manage the implementation of that config into the network, his team was also responsible for the testing of all the services pre-golive. Throughout this time I found Stuart to be extremely capable, focused on delivering the very best for both the business and the customer as well as perfectly willing to go the extra mile to resolve problems or issues as soon as they are identified. His knowledge of mobile networks is extensive and his focus on delivery and the customer ensures that he and his teams always deliver."
