Profile
Experienced technology leader with over 15 years of expertise in software delivery, test management, and scaling engineering organisations. I've successfully led major digital transformations and built high-performing teams across various industries, from startups to enterprise-level organisations. My expertise spans the full spectrum of technology leadership — from hands-on test architecture and QA strategy to executive-level delivery management and organisational scaling.
Management & Leadership Experience
CTO – Ki Reply
July 2024 - December 2024 (Redundancy)
I rejoined Reply to lead Ki Reply, a consultancy focused on two key areas: improving software engineering and delivery performance, and exploring how modern practices — including generative AI — can be leveraged to optimise outcomes. My role involved creating observable and tunable working environments that help teams identify the blockers preventing them from achieving their technical and business objectives.
CTO – Canvas Reply
December 2021 – December 2023
I was responsible for the creation and growth of Canvas Reply, a new business unit within Reply Group, focused on full end-to-end software delivery. Under my technical leadership, Canvas scaled from 30 to over 150 employees and delivered over £14M in annual revenue. I shaped the technical vision of the business and led major projects including the full bottom up development of easyJet Holidays and the frontend rebuild of dominos.co.uk.
Test Architect/Manager – Equal Experts (McKesson/Lloyds Pharmacy)
January 2019 – June 2019 (Contract)
Worked closely with stakeholders to establish and implement a structured QA approach, including hiring, planning, and technical delivery. My work focused on modernising QA for a legacy Windows desktop application using Packer, Vagrant, and UFT. The project ended early due to a shift in business strategy by McKesson.
Test Architect/Manager – WMReply
October 2017 – August 2018 (Contract)
Led the QA team for the easyJet FCP project, overseeing manual and automated test development across an onshore/offshore team. I built the automation framework using C#, .NET, and SpecFlow, and was responsible for testing strategy, hiring, and stakeholder engagement.
