Profile

Strategic leadership, grounded in engineering.

Nearly 20 years across enterprise infrastructure, cloud, collaboration and digital workplace services.

My career spans technical engineering, architecture, service delivery and people leadership. Today I lead Qualcomm’s Workforce Productivity Group for EMEA, serving more than 7,000 users across 15 countries and 35+ offices.

I lead a distributed team across Ireland, the UK, Germany and Romania, with wider operational support in India. My remit includes Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email security, Power Platform, Teams Rooms, telephony and endpoint management.

Earlier, I supported large, complex United Nations environments and led technology programmes from design through implementation and operational transition. I combine a hands-on technical foundation with an MSc in Project Management and a focus on dependable services, clear governance and strong teams.
