Previous Clients

Executive Summary
For over 30 years, I have helped design and deliver some of the most important regulatory, strategic and business-critical systems in the City for organisations including HSBC, NatWest, RBS, JP Morgan, Citibank, UBS and Deutsche Bank. Many of these were multi-million-pound programmes with high business visibility and critical delivery commitments.
Over that time, I have evolved from a valued individual contributor into a hands-on technical leader trusted to lead, support and mentor engineers, helping individuals and teams perform at their highest level.
I am often the person stakeholders turn to when delivery becomes difficult. I help solve complex problems, remove obstacles and provide the technical leadership needed to keep important projects moving forward.
When we hit a problem, I tend to know how to fix it and move on.
This reputation has led to many repeat engagements and referrals throughout my career. Clients know I will take ownership, maintain high engineering standards and do what is needed to achieve successful delivery.
