UKI Ecosystem Leader, IBM

I love technology, and the incredible things humans can achieve with it. However, it’s under threat. The progress of “good tech” in solving some of the most difficult challenges we face today is being stymied by bad actors that seek personal gain, or to cause maximum disruption. That’s why I’m so passionate about working in cybersecurity. Protecting our clients from attacks means they’re free to innovate & conduct business – in a world that’s now almost wholly dependent on technology.

As Ecosystem Sales Leader at IBM Security, I’m growing a team of people equally as passionate as me, whose job is to make our partners successful when teaming with us. We build & maintain a community of like-minded firms that utilise our market-leading technology, from global defence contractors, to telcos, to the local MSPs that are serving small & medium businesses.
Previously, I’ve worked in sales for a technology reseller, and a distributor, before returning to work for a vendor – so I have direct experience of the motivations of all parties in the         channel. Outside of work, I’m a Director at a non-profit tennis club, that seeks to grow participation in tennis through inclusivity and outreach in the local community.
