Who I Am

Strategic Technology Leader

I'm a London-based technology executive with over 20 years of experience specialising in cloud-native solutions and technical strategy. I help businesses bridge the gap between complex engineering challenges and commercial growth.

Currently CTO at Juice, I also work with startups and established brands as a fractional CTO, helping them navigate their digital journey. I have a proven track record of helping global brands like Shazam and Zoopla migrate their workloads to the cloud, with deep expertise in architecting scalable, future-proof systems.

Focusing on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), I provide strategic technical leadership through CTO-as-a-Service, ensuring engineering efforts align with business objectives.
