VP Strategy and Sales

I oversee Magia's strategic growth, tending to relationships with clients, partners, and the Oracle ecosystem with care. My two decades in IT affirm my unwavering faith in technology's power to improve lives. I like collaborating with clients to help them find order amidst their complex systems and help unleash their existing tech's full potential, something at which Magia is particularly good.

My prior 19-year tenure in Royal Naval leadership was but the beginning of my journey. I now volunteer with charities and the City of London, focusing on the logistics and transport sector. This is driven by my fascination with team dynamics and how I can work with others for organisations' and society's greater good.
