A strong technical leader and executive with a consistent history of leading product and engineering teams to deliverer scalable, reliable, cost effective cloud based platforms and products. A long background in applied, hands on technical architecture and management means that I am perfectly placed to help drive start ups and early stage technology and product teams through the chaos of new product development and delivery. I have repeatedly grown nascent product and development teams from 0 to over 120 people, winning multiple industry awards along the way and, more importantly, delivering multi million pound new revenue streams to the companies I have worked for. I am a passionate believer in delivering value early and often by encouraging a "flow" based delivery culture based on continuous delivery, small feedback loops and active learning. Specialties: pragmatic product delivery, corporate strategy, commercial delivery, technical vision and management, corporate culture, distributed systems, architecture, cloud, gaming, sports betting, data analytics
