About

Tech strategy without the jargon.

Transformation without the chaos.

I help SME businesses cut through the noise and make technology work for them—not the other way around.

With years of real life experience leading IT delivery, software development, and business transformation across sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, retail and CPG, Biotech, and finance, I take a pragmatic, people-first approach to technology leadership.

Whether it’s:Building a clear, scalable IT roadmapImplementing AI in a way that actually delivers valueOr rescuing projects that have gone off track and getting them deliveredMy focus is always the same: create outcomes that are practical, sustainable, and commercially driven.

I work closely with business leaders to navigate the complexity of modern technology—cutting through the hype, simplifying decisions, and turning strategy into action.

Having operated as a fractional CTO/CIO , Head of Delivery, and Programme Manager, I bring real-world experience—not theory—to every engagement.

If you’re looking for a straight-talking partner to help you make better technology decisions and unlock real growth—let’s connect.

No jargon. Just results.
