About me

An experienced and passionate Internet industry professional with a broad and mature cross-functional skill-set

I have worked at the cutting edge of Internet development for 10 years. I was part of the core team that took PlusNet (a UK Internet Service Provider) from £6m turnover to an eventual £67m acquisition by BT in January 2007.

I played a lead role in the design and implementation of the UK's most sophisticated ISP provisioning and CRM platform. A methodology of automation and customer self-serve created a platform that made PlusNet the most profitable major ISP in the UK market on a per customer basis.

I come from a technical background with a broad knowledge of Open Source, specifically LAMP, technologies. I have successfully managed multi-million pound project and departmental teams on a range of internal and customer facing projects.

I have also successfully completed 3 offshore transformation projects over the past 3 years at PlusNet and elsewhere; taking existing UK based processes and skills and moving the workflow to newly created offshore teams in India and Poland. As a result of this particular work I have extensive contacts around the world in this area.

I am presently the co-founder of UK based web-startup and am also engaged in assisting UK companies turn their ideas into reality through my extensive offshore network.

I have developed a “can do” reputation, with the ability to solve a business problem with the appropriate technology and process.

I'm happy to discuss new opportunities and provide my experience where it's best needed.
