About me

Through this publication and my consulting work, I share practical insights on current events, emerging technologies, and the future of digital transformation.

I've spent decades helping businesses navigate the changing landscape of technology. I began my career in the early days of IT adoption for small and medium-sized enterprises, convincing clients of the value of email, the internet, and modern IT systems. I ran a managed service and internet provider, leading a team that deployed and maintained on-premises and web infrastructure. We owned and managed physical servers in data centres, hosted websites, email, and business systems, and provided both analogue and digital internet connectivity.

As technology evolved, I helped businesses modernise their networks, implement network security, and virtualise their infrastructure, I deployed hosted line-of-business applications. In the early 2000’s we created what must have been one of the first “Cloud ERP systems” in the form of a multi-tenant fully managed hosted ERP, accessed over the internet.

This foundation led me into the world of business applications, where I’ve delivered solutions across industries such as professional services, retail, supply chain, and both discrete and process manufacturing. I also architected a specialist vertical solution for the fresh produce industry.

My work has taken me all over the world and I’ve implemented systems across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. I’ve always enjoyed working at the intersection of technical expertise and business strategy. I believe that successful technology projects come from a strong focus on people and process, not just systems.
