I Joined FA Solutions in June 2023 to help build the UK operation, having had an extensive career in Technology for the Financial Services sector. Previous companies included Standard Chartered Bank, BIS Banking Systems (Now Finastra), Odyssey (Now Temenos), SS&C Advent, Avaloq & SEI. My Career has covered all roles from Bank Clerk, Computer Operator, Programmer, Project Manager and Sales & Marketing.  I am a serial networker.  I believe this has helped me significantly in my career.

I’m a blind optimist, serial entrepreneur and I lead by example. I believe that company culture eats strategy for breakfast. I have more than 20x years’ experience in ideating, building, growing (and sometimes breaking) companies – a failure/crisis is never wasted. My passion revolves around digitising the clinical research and public health space surrounded/supported by the gifted colleagues around me which I call my friends. Our mission is to make a positive impact in the world of clinical research, and help inspire others to join the cause.
