Actively Looking for Work

Private Information

With over two decades of experience across Information Technology, Digital Transformation, Cybersecurity, Cloud Infrastructure, and Professional Services, I have built a reputation as a results-focused leader who aligns technology with strategic business objectives. My background spans globally recognised brands such as Perella Weinberg, Euroclear, and VMO2, as well as entrepreneurial ventures. I’ve consistently delivered operational excellence, client satisfaction, and commercial impact—whether leading transformation programmes, scaling delivery teams, or embedding governance in hybrid models. Driven by a passion for leveraging technology to drive growth, I am currently exploring senior leadership roles—Head of IT, IT Director, Programme Manager, or Head of Delivery—where I can lead strategic initiatives and foster high-performance cultures.

My career began in IT infrastructure and support, where I gained hands-on expertise in systems engineering, service delivery, and technology lifecycle management. These formative years instilled a deep appreciation for resilience, troubleshooting under pressure, and service quality.

Entrepreneurial Chapter

I founded a consultancy offering advisory and managed IT services to SMEs. My mission was to enable digital transformation for mid-market clients through:

  • Cloud adoption and migration
  • Cybersecurity enhancements
  • Infrastructure re-architecture
  • Business process reengineering (BPR)

Key engagements:

  • Led a communications infrastructure upgrade for an aviation client, ensuring zero downtime during a complex, phased rollout.
  • Delivered MIS redesign and digital transformation for a glass and glazing firm, eliminating system duplication and reducing process complexity.

This chapter proved my ability to blend commercial vision with technical delivery, building scalable solutions that achieved tangible results.

Leadership & Strategy

  • Executive-level IT leadership and technical advisory expertise.
  • Built and led high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Adaptable leadership style—empathetic, decisive, and commercially aware.

Programme & Portfolio Delivery

  • Delivered global transformation programmes across infrastructure, digital, and cloud.
  • Embedded PMO governance, risk/change control, and structured reporting.
  • Skilled in both Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies.

Digital Transformation

  • Led cloud-first strategies, infrastructure upgrades, and AI/data-driven programmes.
  • Oversaw ERP implementations and business application optimisation.
  • Built secure, scalable digital ecosystems aligned with business growth.

Commercial Acumen

  • Managed multi-million-pound IT budgets and negotiated enterprise vendor contracts.
  • Developed billing frameworks, procurement strategies, and cost optimisation initiatives.
  • Improved project profitability and ROI through operational efficiency.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Trusted advisor to C-suite stakeholders, boards, and external partners.
  • Adept at translating business objectives into actionable technical strategies.
  • Clear communicator, skilled in stakeholder alignment and expectation management.

At VMO2, I worked with internal and third-party teams to enhance IT service delivery and project execution. I contributed to infrastructure assessments, onboarding frameworks, and service model realignments. My focus was on unblocking delivery constraints, improving cadence, and supporting strategic alignment—helping elevate service quality and consistency across the board.

I’ve also led international business expansion efforts, including the successful setup of a Dubai office—handling compliance, recruitment, procurement, and IT infrastructure. My work across the MENA region has made me comfortable navigating cultural, operational, and regulatory complexities in global delivery environments. In the hospitality sector, I’ve supported technology programmes including property management systems, cyber-secure Wi-Fi networks, and guest experience platforms. These projects demanded high service availability, seamless customer experience, and strong vendor coordination—skills directly transferable to any client-driven organisation.

Throughout my career, I’ve consistently added value through structure, leadership, and strategic delivery. I’m passionate about leading technology functions that enable growth, drive efficiency, and enhance customer outcomes. Whether working in start-ups, financial institutions, or enterprise environments, I bring clarity to complexity and lead with purpose. I welcome opportunities where I can contribute to impactful transformation, collaborate with talented teams, and shape the future of technology-driven business.
