My experience has been grounded in Management Consultancy, IT Operations and Security for thirty plus years. As an engineer, at the age of 22 I developed the Message Waiting Lamp on telephones. I have held various CIO and CTO positions from the age of 24! I have had two strikes at pioneering and still enjoy the cutting edge of technology and still retained as an advisor to several start-ups and enterprise boards. Clients believe my five strengths are: humour, honesty, technical leadership, communicating and strategy. They also say I have uncanny super caster abilities. I travel a great deal and have held operations, project management and process consultant roles in several companies and tenures in forty-four countries. I have spoken at numerous conferences and also educate graduates as a visiting lecturer. I have been engaged by Banks and Venture Capitalists, Credit Card Providers, Military, Government, Telecoms, Cloud Service Providers, Mobile and Technology sectors. My Architecture skills were honed by designing forty-two global reach Internet and VOIP networks. I have project managed billion dollar projects and crafted and managed IT Service outsourced contracts. I turn around ailing companies and as the son of s Scots accountant have saved organisations half a billion dollars in realised cost savings! Pictures on the wall; sixteen IT Certifications for IT Security, ITIL, VOIP, IPTV, Fibre Optic and Cable Networks, Database and Application Design, Systems and Storage, Mobile Coding and Development, ERP and Business Intelligence. Recently I have designed Cloud and Hybrid Data Centres in six countries and become an IOS mobile developer! My mother has no idea what I have been doing for the last quarter of a century!
