I started at Thomas Miller as a senior developer for UK P&I Club in 1988, spending a decade there before moving to TT Club Mutual Insurance as a Business Analyst and Project Manager. Over the next 24 years worked through every level of the technology delivery function, from Group Applications Development Director, to Group Head of Business Systems, to Group Head of Enterprise Architecture and CTO, a role I held until 2025.
That gives me a perspective most consultants don't have: I know what it's like to be the one accountable to the board, managing the suppliers, buying their services, and living with the consequences of a strategy long after the deck's been signed off. It's a small, particular market, P&I and mutual insurance, and understanding it from the inside, rather than the outside, changes the kind of advice you can give.
In 2025 I set up Rosetta IT to bring that experience to others independently, as a digital strategy advisor, project board member, and supplier-relationship specialist. I help translate complex business requirements into cost effective and pragmatic business outcomes. I also work as a Consultant with Camelot.
