About Me

I'm a Technology Strategist with a deep interest in how people, technology and purpose intersect. At my core, I help people and organisations bring clarity to complexity – whether that’s navigating emerging tech, aligning cloud strategy with business goals, or translating ambiguity into actionable direction.

My career spans product development, cloud architecture and technical strategy – but what unites it all is a drive to bridge the gap between vision and execution. I’ve worked across the Microsoft ecosystem for over a decade, most recently in a senior role at Version 1, where I advise on how Microsoft technologies can unlock real business value. I’ve led initiatives around Azure governance, compliance, partner strategy and emerging technologies like AI and Microsoft Fabric.

I’m particularly energised by:

• Helping others make sense of complexity

• Aligning people and systems around shared purpose

• Communicating ideas in ways that influence, teach and inspire

As a former Microsoft MVP and Certified Trainer, I also love mentoring others in the tech community – sharing knowledge, elevating clarity and supporting growth.

Outside of work, I live in North Yorkshire with my wife and daughter. I’m a philosophy geek, amateur linguist and serial automator of anything repetitive.
