Background
25+ Years of Technology Leadership
Building secure, scalable systems for organisations that can't afford to fail.
I started my career at Victorinox Bond Street, building retail technology at a scale where brand reputation is everything. Every system had to work flawlessly.
From there, I moved into private equity, where I led cloud migration programmes across portfolio companies. 40+ migrations over three years, each with compressed timelines and zero tolerance for failure.
Now, as CTO/technology leader at Lily's Kitchen, I work at the intersection of consumer brand, supply chain complexity, and modern infrastructure. And I help other organisations navigate the same challenges as a fractional CISO and IT Director.

My Approach
"AI agents are force multipliers"
When paired with domain expertise, AI agents don't replace humans—they amplify what good teams can achieve. The future belongs to professionals who understand both their domain and AI orchestration.
"Open source is not a license, it's a philosophy"
Building in the open, contributing to the community, and letting ideas challenge each other leads to better solutions. Proprietary doesn't mean better—it often means less accountable.
