I am a highly self-motivated person who constantly strives to develop both myself, and the technology provision of the business I work for. I take on responsibility and ownership across all aspects of technology to best develop and drive IT and Digital service policies, whilst maintaining my core belief that technology should work to help a business, and its employees, in their objectives, and not the other way around.
I have a deep understanding of how technology services tie in to all aspects and areas of a business, from accounts and finance, through to HR, and to the customer facing side of a business, and believe that this understanding is a great asset when managing a company’s technology strategy.
In addition to more traditional skills required for an IT purist, I also have excellent sales, business and analytical skills, backed up by a broad commercial understanding. I’m adept at familiarising myself with a company and developing relevant and meaningful brand awareness quickly.

Portfolio
The IT and eCommerce landscape has changed significantly in the last 10 years. New technologies have emerged, and best practice has changed. Leading the way for established National retailers has meant I have had to ensure the business has kept pace, and been at the forefront of changes. View some of the Projects i have delivered, and the business benefit they have brought.
Services
My real passion is immersing myself in a business, fully understanding what it aims to deliver, and then utilising the right technology to achieve this. A firm believer that IT should work for people, I prefer to analyse business processes, and streamline these with meaningful IT or eCommerce support. I'm available for general consultation, specific Project management, or permanent roles.
