Clients, Contacts and Testimonies

My clients are usually information-rich and complex. Large B2B or B2C customer bases. Often high-profile with tough financial targets.

I have experience both in the UK and internationally. To name a few clients, I’ve worked in an enduring capacity with Exec Boards and leadership teams at the Natural History Museum, London Transport Museum, Historic England, British Film Institute, Comic Relief, Arts Council England, Royal Societies and Learned bodies (various, e.g., the Geological Society of London, Collections Trust), UKRI (NERC, Environmental Research), Central Government (Business/Science and Culture), Cisco, Axiell AB (11,000 Museums and Libraries customers worldwide). Also canal trusts, zoos/gardens and various other private-sector and visitor attractions/museums, large and small.

My Network

In my career, I’ve faced pretty much every situation a Chief Information and Technology Officer has to address. Business Strategy, People, Change, Financial, Supplier, Service, Quality, etc.

When required, I can convene first-class teams from across my network to get jobs done or find specialists for you if I can not help myself.
