Bridging People, Business and Technology.
A commercial foundation, more than two decades of hands-on IT experience and a strong curiosity about why systems, people and organisations work the way they do.
I feel at home between business teams and technology.
I am neither a conventional developer nor a conventional business administrator. Perhaps that is precisely my strength. My career combines business thinking with many years of hands-on IT experience.
I enjoy the human side of work.
I like talking to different people: users, developers, business leaders, support teams, departments and external providers. I want to understand how someone actually works, why things are done a certain way and where friction arises.
I also try to understand the experience and perspective the other person brings. The same information needs to be presented differently to a user, a business team, IT or management if it is to become genuine understanding.
People, business and IT
I see project leadership and product ownership as translating between perspectives. A technically correct solution can still fail if it does not fit everyday work. Equally, a business wish alone is not enough if feasibility, data, costs or operations are overlooked.
Projects give me energy.
I am particularly drawn to situations where things are not yet neatly organised: different expectations, established workflows, a system that is not being adopted or an idea that still needs to become a viable solution. That is where the interesting work begins for me.
What counts in the end
I do not need a particular buzzword on the label. What matters is whether a solution is understandable, economical, reliable and better for the people who use it every day.
