Chief Technology Officer
I am a technologist, an architect, big fan of the Cloud and APIs (together they really do help drive transformation), an engineer, an outside-in thinker who builds and leads high performing teams focusing on delivering real value outcomes and great experiences for customers( patients/ citizens/ staff)
I foster an innovation and continuous improvement culture adopting agile/ lean ways of working that empower teams giving them the tools and metrics needed to “test, learn and adapt” but ultimately to succeed even quicker delivering incremental value with a continuous improvement mindset.
Whilst at William Hill I have focused on people giving them the right training and support to grow, as well as opportunities to bring to life ideas that support the business and customers alike. I am part of the senior leadership team leading on digital business transformation including cloud adoption, DevOps/ agile and automation to improve business processes or in some cases completely reinvent them. I am particularly proud of introducing hackathons into William Hill following great success at Hermes when I founded the Innovation Lab and partnered with Google and Leeds Beckett University.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the AWS Summit London 2019 to talk about we used AI to accelerate our Nobody Harmed ambition.
Day to day I lead IT colleagues and take responsibility across the entire Group for the agile transformation initiative that is introducing agile ways of working into software delivery but also wider disciplined agile in IT and the organisation as a whole. I am helping to shape digital business transformation, API management and platforms within William Hill introducing technologies and ways of working to focus on continuous improvement and delivery whilst demonstrating cost optimisation and of course, fun and exciting opportunities!
