Introduction

Picture of Ian

I am an experienced technology leader with an excellent track record as a CEO, executive, non-exec director and consultant. I love innovating, building products, establishing and leading teams, developing strategies, solving problems and building for purpose as well as profit. My expertise is in deep tech software and electronics, most recently working Online Safety and GovTech. I have the breadth of skills to work across disciplines, joining up technology, the real-world problems it can solve, the customers it can serve and the wider industry or policy landscape. I am adept at evangelising new tech, creating pilot projects and securing initial sales.
