Technology Leader based in London. Eight years across IT operations, M&A integration, and multi-site EMEA leadership.

I run IT functions at mid-sized companies, with a focus on three things:

• M&A integration: Six integrations across nine offices and twelve countries at Sovos Compliance, including identity merges, license consolidation, and day-one cutover planning.
• Security and compliance: ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR. Reduced phishing click-rate from 18% to 6% and security incidents by 40% at BW Workplace Experts.
• Operations and cost: SLA compliance from 78% to 99% in 90 days, £100k+ annual savings through vendor renegotiation, 70% onboarding time reduction.

Looking for Head of IT, IT Director, or Group IT Manager roles in London, with a preference for PE-backed or acquisitive groups, FCA-regulated firms, or scale-ups expanding across EMEA.
