Sr. Cloud Solution Architect
Microsoft

Biography

Partner CTO and Senior Cloud Architect with Microsoft, I guide partners in creating their digital and app innovation, data, AI, and automation practices. In this role, I have built technical capabilities around Azure, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and—most recently—Fabric, that have resulted in multi-million wins for partners in new practice areas. I apply this experience as a frequent speaker at technical conferences across Europe and the United States, and as a collaborator with other cloud technology leaders on market-making topics such as enterprise architecture for cloud ecosystems, strategies to integrate business applications and the Azure data platform, and future-ready AI strategies. Most recently, I launched the “Ecosystems” podcast alongside Will Dorrington (CTO @ Kerv Digital), Andrew Welch (CTO @ HSO), Chris Huntingford (Low Code Lead @ ANS), and Mark Smith (Cloud Strategist @ IBM). Before joining Microsoft, I served as the Engineering Lead for strategic programs at Vanquis Bank in London where I led teams driving technical transformation and navigating regulatory challenges across affordability, loans, and open banking domains. My prior experience includes service as a senior technical consultant and engineer at Hitachi, FelineSoft, and Ipsos, among others.
