Summary
I thrive in high change industries that have been disrupted multiple times over. Comfortable with challenging the status quo and leading through uncertainty, I help businesses navigate disruption and pinpoint growth opportunities. In doing so, I enable them to remain relevant in the face of increasing digitisation and the advent or emerging tech (AI), having built lasting products and solutions that not only enable competitive advantage but that have also been the catalyst to changing entire industries. A high-tech entrepreneur to my bones, with my own consulting company, I have also held multiple commercial roles in organizations leading digital transformation for notable clients (Cisco, Juniper Networks, Symantec, Thermo Fischer) while successfully raising multiple rounds of seed funding to scale the businesses I work for. I bring a human-centric lens to innovation, leveraging the power of tech to be an enabler of growth and supporting teams to integrate it into their processes and business culture. An advocate for emerging tech as a positive force in the world, I unite people around an inspiring vision and take them on the transformation journey. I network regularly and welcome new connections within technology, investment and the wider business community. Please connect via LinkedIn or send me an email.
