Industry sectors worked in:
I am a veteran of the Computer Industry with broad organisational, financial, staff management and technology experience.

I started my career developing and supporting services for the banking sector and, over the years, have extended this experience by working in the media and leisure sectors.

I have been part of senior management teams within start-up and established technology-led companies for more than 18 years and have been responsible for the development of IT-based products and services since the early 80ís - including extensive involvement in developing businesses in both consumer and business-to-business markets.

My senior management roles have included Interim CTO at TradeSurface (a banking services startup in the Trade Finance area seeded by Banc of America Private Equity), Interim Managing Director at Flippa.com (a Sporting Index Group web betting startup), Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at QXL.com Plc, Product Development and IT Director at The Register Group (a Pearson company), Technical Director (Head of Studio) at First Information Group Plc and Director of Software at Virgin Games.

As a Director, I have also taken part in preparations for IPO on NASDAQ and London Stock Exchanges, funding rounds from Venture Capital and Institutional investment, company trade sales and an AIM flotation.
