United Kingdom - Stockport, England

I guess you could say I’m goal-oriented, Schooled by elite sport (and still partial to a protein shake) I buzz off building teams who can’t wait to come to work.

I have grafted to grow Red Flag from a spin-out with 3 of us in 2013 to a multi-million pound player with a hand-picked team of databosses. I have 11 years in sales and marketing myself but can’t wait for you to meet our tech ninjas, sales force and the brilliant back-office gang.

I’d love to say that the business growth is down to my exceptional talent, but a lot of that growth came from the strategic use of data. We get up every day to bring insight and analytics to bear on the problems of our customers.

Red Flag Alert empowers UK businesses to reach their goals with real-time data, Barclays, British Gas and Santandar use us, so yeah. We’re pretty great.

Aside from the blue chip corporates though we live to support SMEs like us to refine their data needs and to deploy like the big boys. I know from experience that the right insights can change the whole conversation.

I love being outside, Still play rugby and burn a mean BBQ and am always dreaming up elaborate schemes to celebrate our successes with the people around me.

Oh, and I’m really trying to make #databoss a thing. Reach out to get involved.
