I use my fifteen years’ experience leading software teams 

to inspire  people and produce excellent results. 

I lead teams to build high quality robust software, 

which meets the needs of our users.

With my considered approach, I help people to bear in mind the longer term ROI when planning and designing solutions.

I’m often called in to fix problems – I love

 finding out what is wrong and devising a plan to resolve it.

I work in a structured and transparent way – making work visible  helps everyone to understand what we are trying to do.

The teams I lead have had very high engagement and low attrition – most people have been in the team for years.

I  thrive in organisations with a high degree of trust,  

where there is a user-centred agile approach.

Often, there are organisational or human impediments to software solutions. I use a variety of tools and techniques to help overcome these problems. It is a delight to see friendships form at work, where previously there has been friction, often due to misunderstandings or a lack of alignment. I put time and effort into active listening and prioritising time for people to work together.

While writing the business case for a major strategic project, our internal customer made it very clear to the board that they would only accept software built internally by my team rather than buying a solution even if it was cheaper. This was because of the flexibility, responsiveness and high quality the team is known to provide.
