My Credentials
Four Technology Inflection Points. One Continuous Journey

Every inflection point created growth opportunities

From communication systems and mobile networks to the Internet, IP communications, wireless, network security, devices, Technology-as-a-Service, cloud, data and AI, I have worked at each of these inflection points, and at the intersection of technology, business and markets - helping my organisations commercialise and scale business through the times of technology transformation

1.COMMUNICATIONS & MOBILE

At Tata, Alcatel and Lucent, I worked through the transformation of communication systems and the emergence of mobile networks.

This was a period when telecommunications was moving from traditional fixed infrastructure towards increasingly intelligent, scalable and mobile networks.

2.THE NETWORK BECOMES INTELLIGENT

The next wave brought together IP communications, wireless networking and network security, creating new possibilities and new complexities for the enterprises.

At Cisco, I worked across this evolving technology landscape, seeing first-hand how technologies move from innovation to commercial adoption and eventually become mainstream.

3.TECHNOLOGY BECOMES A SERVICE

When products became platforms, solutions and recurring services: At Hewlett Packard, the technology industry was moving beyond selling products towards technology-as-a-Service models.

I worked with the transformation of devices and technology consumption - helping translate technology sales into as-a-service model linking technology spend to the value delivered.

4. DATA, CLOUD & AI

When technology became increasingly data-driven and intelligent At Oracle, I worked at another major inflection point- the growing importance of cloud, data, analytics and AI in enterprise transformation.

The technology opportunity increasingly shifted towards using data and intelligence to create better decisions, new business models and create competitive advantage.
