How I gained my experience:
As a tech advisor and consulting CTO I have been lucky enough to have worked with some of the biggest and brightest SaaS businesses in Europe as well as taking leading roles in the digital transformation of large multinationals.
My journey with these fast scaling, and transforming businesses has allowed me to experience their evolution from concept to full blown implementation.
I’ve always been a key player in building out organisations with compelling product and service offerings, sharing in all the pain, struggle, and success that go hand in hand with high growth.
Today I bring together this wealth of experience of hands on delivery and execution to help new and emerging businesses navigate their own unique technical and product landscapes.
I advise on strategy, product direction, and security, whilst at the same time put in place the engines for scaling both the people and the technology that underpin these businesses.
