I believe I can see through the fog and noise of daily operations to understand where change is needed and can visualise what transformations should look like.

Any professional goals for the upcoming year?
I have been very fortunate to have been mentored by Rebecca Wormesley (CIO Welcome Group and former CIO Lloyd’s and Hiscox) for the past 4 years, this experience has been absolutely amazing and priceless. I am forever grateful and look forward to showing her the fruits of her labour before 2025 is done.
And… Last but not least, how does being an expert of Camelot help you/or add value to your business?Being an expert of Camelot gives me a sense of belonging no matter whether I have a role at a given time or not. It allows me to reach out to alternative minds for support and advice whenever I need it, which makes me as a brand far more powerful and futureproof.
