What I Do
Analyse
I dive deep into understanding your business. Gaining a clear view of your strategy, operating model and processes to understand your 'why, what and how'.
Through interviewing people and mapping processes, my years of experience enables me to quickly gain a deep understanding. I'm sometimes the first person that has done this across the whole organisation...
Recommend
I provide a detailed set of recommendations based on your short, medium and long term needs and goals.
My recommendations to help the whole business, from acquiring and retaining customers, to delivering your operation, or managing your back office. I have experience delivering in nearly all domains of business, so I can really help you focus on the actual priorities.
Deliver
I know the technology industry, allowing me execute for you, from initial planning and vendor selection, through to delivering a final product into production.
I've delivered digital improvment for 15+ years for small SMEs and start ups up to well known enterprises, My deep understanding of delivery operating models and processes allows me to reduce the risk to your deliveries.

My Mission
This country's backbone is the well established, small and medium sized businesses that provide products and services across all industries, regions and continents of the world. The UK's 'Mittelstand' as germanic nations call it.
This group of businesses are successful, but the country needs more of them and more from them, they are the employers, tax payers and training vehicles of our country.
Many of these companies are lean, and spend what is needed to operate, so some areas of business are not their focus, usually digital being one. This means they leave margin on the table.
The digital landscape is moving fast, faster than ever before. It provides ways to improve pricing, acquire and retain customers, and increase efficiencies in operations. Companies need specialist expertise to understand and deliver this, which many do not currently possess.
I want to bridge this gap. I provide the digital expertise to companies like this, not through powerpoint slides and consultancy for boardroom politics but through working as an analyst and an operator to get stuff done. Not at prices with high margins to keep a large organisation functioning, but ones that reflect my services and works for me.
I want to personally help these businesses, delivering results for now and for a sustainable future.
My belief is more 'Mittelstand' companies, with improved efficiency, will grow our economy and improve our standard of living. And I want to help make that a reality.
