What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise and cloud architecture where I can connect business strategy to secure, resilient platform delivery, shape governance and roadmaps, and work closely with Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Security teams.

At the Financial Conduct Authority, I lead enterprise architecture transformation across operational technology, delivering six ERP platforms and secure Azure identity and access management for 5,000+ users. I chair the Design Authority, govern 20+ API integrations, and define roadmaps for five strategic platforms.

Previously at Accenture for a major telco, I governed architecture across a £100M transformation portfolio spanning three regions, created 16 TOGAF-aligned patterns, and shaped a 10-year migration strategy to Google Cloud. I bring business, Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Cyber Security teams together to deliver resilient, scalable platforms.
