Riassunto

I am a seasoned technology leader with a proven record of building and running multi-disciplinary technology organizations.

Coming from a coding background, I balance the first-hand experience and "maker's" passion for creation needed to inspire technologists with the pragmatic business acumen required to manage complex engagements against tight budgets and fixed timelines.

My teams have successfully delivered a wide variety of end-to-end projects - robust content-driven web applications, web service and enterprise system integrations, native mobile applications, and physical installations - for B2B and B2C clients in industries including Financial Services, Arts & Cultural Institutions, Consumer Packaged Goods, Technology, and Healthcare.

Creative and elegant uses of technology will always get my attention, but I feel most rewarded when I have a happy, intellectually challenged team delivering solutions which provide long term value.
