He added: “My career has taken me through some of the biggest names in the tech world, from global leaders like IBM and Accenture, where I honed my skills in strategic technology delivery and innovation. I’ve also had the privilege of leading digital transformation projects for major brands such as Dyson, Diageo, and Versace, helping them navigate the complexities of modern digital change.
“These experiences have taught me a fundamental principle, one that aligns perfectly with the culture at Hodge Bank: to focus on the moments that matter. It’s at these critical junctures where the right technology and strategic decisions can not only solve problems but also create new opportunities and drive real business growth and, more importantly, create positive outcomes for customers.”
