An experienced technical and commercial leader with over 20 years in the IT industry; 15 of which have been spent in software development. I am passionate about improving software delivery right across the lifecycle, from business idea through to production quality code.

 
As an active member of the Agile community I have built close associations with other thought leaders and contributed new thinking in areas such as scaling Agile techniques to support large programmes.

As the CTO of Conchango I formed the Agile practice and drove the Scrum for Team System tools group. EMC acquired Conchango in 2008, leading to a new role as Global Head of Agile for EMC Consulting.

Along with some very talented colleagues, we formed RippleRock in late 2009 to dedicate itself to the task of assisting customers drive dramatic improvements in their software development capability.
