Organisations I've worked in and on

The through-line

Six industries, one problem

Every organisation I have worked in had the same underlying condition: systems that grew separately, data that could not be reconciled, and decisions made on numbers nobody fully trusted. The industry changes. The problem does not.

What I do is make those systems agree with each other — and make sure the organisation can keep them that way after I have moved on.

Retail & FranchiseNational salon & academy franchise2021 — 2024

Putting 300 franchise salons on one POS in twelve months

A national salon network ran on hundreds of independent billing setups and no consolidated view. I centralised point-of-sale across 300 stores in a year, turning an estate of separate businesses into one measurable operation.

Expertise

Where I'm useful

Full capability map →

Enterprise Applications

Selecting, implementing and running the systems a business actually operates on — and making them talk to each other.

Integration & Architecture

Designing the data flow between systems so that reporting is one number, not five conflicting ones.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Migration and operation of the platforms underneath — with uptime as a first-class requirement, not an afterthought.

Security & Governance

Compliance frameworks that hold up to audit, backed by hands-on security knowledge rather than delegated entirely to vendors.

Delivery & Vendor Management

Getting projects across the line through other people's organisations — contracts, SLAs, and the follow-through that makes them real.

Leadership

Building teams that outlast the project, and translating between what the business wants and what the technology can do.

What I'm open to

I'd rather hear from you than not

Most of what I have learned came from people doing this work elsewhere telling me what actually happened. If any of the below applies, the inbox is open.

Leadership roles

Enterprise applications, digital transformation and IT strategy — particularly where an estate has outgrown how it was set up.

Advisory & consulting

Second opinions on ERP, POS and CRM selection, integration architecture, and transformation programmes that have stalled.

Speaking & writing

On what large-scale rollouts actually cost, IT governance that survives contact with a business, and integration debt.

Comparing notes

With anyone doing this work in retail, hospitality, travel or infrastructure. Most of what I know came from these conversations.
