About
I've been the IT Director at ExpressGlass for nearly a decade - specialists in automotive glass repair and replacement, part of the Cary Group with operations across 12 European countries.
I've redesigned network architectures, moved infrastructure to the cloud, led the Microsoft 365 transformation well beyond the productivity suite, modernized telephony, and built internal software, integrations, and automations. Cybersecurity is woven into everything we do.
Computer Engineer by training. Outside work, I run - training for my first marathon - travel, read, and spend time with family, friends, and my cat.
