Bio

A UK based husband and father of 2 who loves sport, travelling, beaches and animals of all types and sizes.


I have been at Dot Group for since 2012 and Managing Director since 2018. Since 2018 I have been transforming Dot into a modern, digitally focussed system integrator. Coming from an IBM Data Engineering heritage, 4 years ago we brought Aspera into our portfolio and we can now boast being IBM EMEA's premier Aspera Partner.


With Aspera's strong demand in Media we have been further adjusting our business model further to extend our offerings in Media for NS1, Apptio/Turbo and Envizi; where carbon and cost are key drivers for business change.


My passion is in bringing value to clients, especially the ones we refer to as Goldilocks sized (not too big or small). These have historically not been well served by IBM SW or Partners, until we came along.


We are expanding across EMEA through Partnerships as well as launching a new Business in US from April 2025.
