Recently he has played a successful key role for two global organisations in helping them to understand, adopt and implement governance processes - one involved ensuring that a major UK bank met the requirements of the FSA and the second involved creating the governance schedules and defining the governance processes for a major French industrial gas organisation's global telecommunications outsourcing contract. Both included the establishing of the correct organisational structures and the change programmes required to embed these.

He has a good understanding of how regulatory issues can be converted into actionable processes and is capable of ensuring that these embedded successfully into the organisation's culture and processes while at the same time managing the operational and non-compliance risks. He has been involved in a number of diverse projects ranging from the strategic use of reuse through to campaign management. His experience in a number of industries, particularly the banking sector, allows him to integrate with projects and clients across industry sectors.

Having just completed his MBA with a dissertation titled 'Technology Governance - A Model for Enablement and Advantage', he brings together his considerable understanding of information management and strategy with current business thinking into strategy and competitive advantage highlighting the value and usage of information in this mix.
