I combine advisory, build, and commercial leadership at the intersection of cloud, AI, and high assurance delivery, helping organisations turn ambition into deployable capability. Shaped by early years in the military, I later moved into civilian roles spanning aerospace, government, and advanced engineering. Early in my civilian career, I worked in the Microsoft ecosystem supporting major aerospace customers, then moved into autonomous flight engineering at NASA and later joined the early days of SpaceX’s Falcon programme.

More recently, I have shifted from pure engineering leadership into commercial and go to market roles where cloud platforms and AI capabilities have to win, land, and deliver. I have led customer pursuits, shaped propositions, built pipelines, and closed complex deals, while staying close to the technical detail needed to reduce risk and accelerate delivery. Along the way I have held senior roles including Chief Architect and Distinguished Engineer at Fujitsu, founded a private cloud datacentre venture, and served as CTO of ATLAS overseeing the modernisation of Ministry of Defence on premises systems and applications as they moved towards cloud operating models.

What I bring is a blend of fluency, rigour, and commercial realism. I can hold a room with operational stakeholders and then go deep with architects on identity, data, cloud, AI, and integration without hand waving. I design with delivery in mind from day one, prioritising assurance, supportability, and change control because that is where programmes succeed or fail. And I stay commercially practical, shaping propositions for frameworks and tenders, building believable plans, and keeping solutions honest against time, cost, and risk.

Today I operate where strategy, sales, and delivery meet, helping organisations adopt cloud and AI with confidence, pace, and realism. I also speak widely on technology and adoption, with 1500 plus talks including 100 plus keynotes. I live just outside London with my family, cook obsessively, and try to keep a vegetable patch alive.

My Recipe for Success? Keep it Simple.

Relentless Focus

Cut everything that isn’t the mission. When you practise relentless focus, meetings shrink, inboxes go quiet, and priorities collapse into a single, blinding point of effort. It’s not about working more hours; it’s about refusing to spend a single minute on anything that doesn’t move the needle. The result is momentum so concentrated it feels inevitable.

Radical Candour

Honesty gets sharper when it’s paired with genuine care. Radical candour isn’t performative bluntness, it’s a commitment to say the thing that will help someone succeed, even when it’s uncomfortable for both of you. Delivered with respect, it turns feedback into fuel, builds trust at speed, and spares teams the hidden costs of politeness-as-procrastination.

Knowing the Outcome

Start at the finish line and work backwards. When you define the outcome with ruthless clarity numbers, dates, behaviours, every plan, sprint, and hallway debate suddenly has a north star. Ambiguity melts away, trade-offs become obvious, and momentum aligns around results you’ve already pictured in vivid detail.
