I have over 30 year’s experience of delivering technology solutions and running technology businesses around the world. I understand how to make technology work, for the people who are going to use it and for the businesses that rely on it. I’ve worked internationally across geographies and cultures, building strong stakeholder relationships, and overcome the toughest obstacles.
But I was always challenged by the need to achieve more value and outcomes for less cost in a shorter time. I lived with these unrelenting pressures and came to appreciate how easy it can be for uncertainty and stress to blow you off course, professionally and personally. At times your path to success is unclear, and you feel stuck and unsure about how to move forward.
I managed to overcome my obstacles and achieve my goals with the support of people who had been there and experienced similar struggles. Together we would create a safe space where I could explore what was really going on, in confidence and with trust, establish a new clarity and develop practical plans for success. I felt understood and supported without being judged but also challenged and held accountable for my commitments. I realised the power of this approach and developed my own version that I used successfully with my teams, colleagues, and clients.
Now I want to use my method to help other technology executives overcome their uncertainty and the major challenges they face. Help them achieve clarity and resilience, renew their sense of purpose, and make them succeed.
