About

As a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with a strong focus on AI and data science, I have over 20 years of experience leading technology teams and driving innovation in various sectors. My career includes leadership roles at notable organizations such as the BBC, Home Office, and Ministry of Defence, as well as several successful start-ups. I specialize in creating and executing technology roadmaps that foster growth and innovation while maintaining sound governance and cybersecurity practices. My ability to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences ensures that I can communicate complex concepts clearly to stakeholders. In my recent role at WebMechanix, I led the development of innovative advertising systems that have raised over $8 million for charity while delivering superior engagement for advertisers. I have a hands-on approach, combining strategic leadership with operational expertise, including team management, product development, and AI integration. I also contributed to projects focusing on sustainability in digital advertising, carbon measurement, and workflow automation, all of which reflect my passion for using technology to make a positive impact.
