About

Background

10 years IT consulting and 5 years project management built on an 11-year technical career spanning R&D and consultancy. Sectors: Finance, Energy, Legal, Medical, Public Sector.

Approach

Hands-on, nuts-and-bolts mindset. Values solution longevity. Thinks about the bigger picture and seamless next steps.

Embraces a discovery → frustrations → desired outcomes framing.

This means starting with what someone is trying to achieve, understanding where things are painful or broken, and working backwards to practical solutions that will still make sense in two years.

Range

Generalist from low-level to UI: assembly → C/C++/C# → SQL → React. Networking: ARP → TCP/IP → DNS → SSH.

The career has spanned R&D and consultancy — from writing C++ for telecom test hardware to deploying cloud infrastructure for UK banks. The common thread is a focus on fundamentals: understanding what the system actually does, where it can fail, and how to make it maintainable by the next person.

Leadership style

Managed multi-discipline teams of up to 10 across Systems, Electronic, Mechanical, Power, Software, Firmware, and Quality/Test/Procurement. Multi-site coordination (Norway/Sweden/UK). The management philosophy: clear communication, removing blockers, trusting the team, and focusing on outcomes rather than process theatre.
