Practical consulting at the intersection of travel technology and IT
Independent advice for travel technology companies and corporates on strategy, digital capability, and cybersecurity.
About
Advisory grounded in real-world delivery
I help travel technology companies and SMEs make clearer decisions around strategy, digital capability, and cybersecurity. This is independent advisory work grounded in real-world delivery, not sales or theory.
My background spans over 45 years across traditional IT infrastructure, cloud platforms, Microsoft-centric environments, cybersecurity, and business travel systems — including more than eight years as IT Director and Director of Technology, Transformation and Security at Blue Cube Travel. What differentiates my work is an understanding of both technology and the commercial reality in which it operates, particularly within the Travel Management Company (TMC) and corporate travel ecosystem.

Approach
Straight-talking, pragmatic, independent
I focus on helping organisations do more with what they already have, and I only take on work where I believe I can add real value.
I take on a limited number of engagements at any time — please feel free to get in touch to discuss whether there’s a fit for us to work together. Always happy to have a chat.
