Overview
As IT Director, I've consistently identified technology opportunities that create competitive advantage and enable business growth. I translate complex technical concepts into clear business value for boards and stakeholders.
Strategic Capabilities
- Technology scouting: Research and evaluate emerging technologies for business fit
- Roadmap development: Build multi-year technical roadmaps aligned with business objectives
- Build vs. buy: Data-driven decisions on internal development vs. third-party solutions
- Risk assessment: Identify technical risks before they impact business outcomes
Business Impact
- ISO27001 certification: Led 8-month project that unlocked enterprise and international contracts
- Market expansion: Technical research and planning enabled Wireless Social to expand from pubs to stadiums, gyms, and shopping centres
- Vendor partnerships: Evaluated and integrated enterprise hardware (Unifi, Mikrotik) to deliver reliable solutions
Approach
I combine deep technical knowledge with commercial awareness. Every technical decision is evaluated through the lens of business impact, cost, and risk.
