Hired to help transition the purchase of BMI Research into Fitch Solutions (a fintech/financial services company), specifically to mentor and transform the development, support and QA people and processes into more agile mindsets, I also took on ops. After creating a 2nd level support team to protect developers, reinventing the CMS, and overseeing some AWS and personnel changes in Cloud, the job was ~done. Managing the European teams and affecting the wider Fitch Solutions development department, bandwidth is always reserved to allows participation in the assessment, scoping and integration of further business acquisitions together with the architecting and development of new projects.

As one of the fastest growing comprehensive event solution and service providers operating on the global stage it is my role to adapt to fresh challenges from new markets and to ensure we always deliver on time, using agile methodologies and continuous integration. Sportolutions is a provider of comprehensive sports software services (eg ticketing, event and business consultancy, inbound/outbound call centres, membership and loyalty programmes). Today I manage a local team in the UK as well as several remote, offshore product development teams; all embracing agile. I am also very hands on with regards to E-commerce, compliance and governance throughout the organisation. PHP (Symfony2) and Java are the order of the day with experiments into frameworks and languages as we choose best tools for micro services moving forward. I am always looking at innovating technical and developmental solutions to set businesses apart from competitors and not only retain but grow staff. I keep an eye on the industry as a whole with regards to what products the competition are offering and encourage personal progression. I absorb as much data as possible, affording myself the clarity with which to make efficient and swift decisions with respect to direction, budget and resource.

A Europe/America based ecommerce business selling luxury automotive super car road trips and holidays/vacations and experiences to a predominantly affluent clientele.

Grew a team from 2 to 23, producing and maintaining over 200 websites, mobile phone apps and materials for international customers; many of them were so large in scale that they became businesses in their own right. - Produced websites for international clients such as Pirelli - Acted as Head of Online for MEETINGSreview.com which was an international events-focused online video news and directory listing platform - Transormation project: The Peoples Music Awards - Social Media expertise was polished up for the production a rather undercover social media strategy for London's largest coffee chain

Everything could be handled from within the web apps except for the driving of the cars! - operations - CMS, SEO, social media, analytics - Reporting - CRM, marketing and email campaigns

Was exposed to the very best-in-field digital security procedures ahead of the company's sale to eTrade.com
