The site has been developed as a professional gateway for recruiters and hiring managers to explore my career in greater depth.

With qualifications in engineering, business, and law, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to complex challenges, balancing technical insight with commercial leadership.This website will remain live during my current career search to provide transparency and context for prospective employers. Once suitable and stable employment has been secured, the site will be taken offline.Supporting materials, including a resume, appointment overviews, and sector briefing papers, are available and accessible through the buttons above.Let’s Connect.
