Biography

I am a technologist and professional manager with over 16 years experience of working in the Information Technology & New Media sectors.

I have two degrees: a bachelor’s with honours in Management & Information Technology from London Guildhall and a master’s in Social Enterprise from the University of Cambridge. I am also member of the Chartered Management Institute.

I started my career with IBM where I spent six years honing my sales and professional business skills, before joining Omnicom’s agency.com where I spent two years learning about the importance of user experience, and further developed my management skills.

Since then, I have been an executive for a number of companies, and today I am Chief Technologist at Comic Relief, one of the world’s leading charities.

I am also a Conservative Councillor for the London Borough of Enfield, and it is my great pleasure to represent Chase ward in the north-west of the borough where I was born and have lived most of my life.

Some of the other highlights of my career includes roles I have had as:

  • Chairman: visit4ads
  • Trustee & Treasurer: Foodcycle
  • Trustee & Treasurer: MyBnk
  • Chief Executive Officer: Breathe
  • Managing Director: Inspired Technology
