Hi, I’m Tom.
By day, I’m a technology leader. I’ve worked across seven industries and I adapt quickly to whatever comes next.After hours, I make things, from apps and websites to stories. Creating is what I love most.
Currently testing Niai (opens in a new tab).
About me
My career has taken me across the UK and New Zealand, bringing people and technology together. I’m now based in Hertfordshire, where I spend time with my family, build side projects and occasionally get some gardening done.
By day
Twenty years across seven industries, from health software in Auckland to hotels in the UK.
Open to new technology leadership roles.
“Tom is never someone who simply says no. He looks for the route through, works out what is possible and finds a way to make things happen.”
