Twenty years spent turning IT chaos into operations that run themselves.

Currently leading Rest-of-World IT service delivery for a global technology platform — a 24/7 operation handling 100K+ tickets a year across three regions, built without a reference model to follow. Refined by two decades of hands-on infrastructure work and multi-site leadership before it.

Positioning

Twenty years of range — not just one chapter.

Andy's leadership is built on hands-on foundations: years of network engineering, server infrastructure, and endpoint management before ever managing a team. That groundwork shows in every layer since — multi-site IT management with full P&L ownership, business-critical automation, and now building 24/7 support operations from zero across three regions, with no reference model to adapt.

He consistently looks for where IT can contribute to wider business outcomes — from AI automation tailored to regional nuance, to a customer intelligence platform that directly influenced revenue decisions.

01

Build before you scale

Pilot small, prove the model, then expand region by region — not the other way around.

02

Data before decisions

Ticket and escalation data drives staffing, root-cause fixes, and process redesign — not instinct.

03

Design for the exception

When infrastructure doesn't match the standard, build a bespoke scope rather than force a rebuild.

04

Automate the toil

Idle licenses and manual steps are opportunities — automation should absorb what shouldn't need a human.

Track record

Four decisions, four measurable outcomes.

A Rest-of-World support function, with no reference model to follow.

SituationA global technology platform needed IT support stood up across regions it had never operated in before, with no existing playbook to adapt.
DecisionBuilt the operating model region by region, restructuring team composition and escalation workflows at each stage, and transitioning to 24/7 BPO-supported coverage within a 3-month window without a drop in service levels.
ResultTicket volume absorbed grew from 42K to 100K+ annually without proportional headcount growth. Average resolution time cut 98% (1,478 → 28 minutes), with satisfaction held above 96% throughout.

From manual bottlenecks to systems that run themselves.

SituationA workflow automation license sat idle across the organisation, while deactivating departing staff's system access still relied on manual steps.
DecisionSelf-learned the idle platform and prototyped automation workflows with the engineering team, leading directly to an integration with the HR system that automatically deactivated user accounts upon staff departure.
ResultClosed a common security vulnerability at scale using an already-paid-for, previously unused license — no new procurement required — rolled out alongside a broader identity and device management deployment covering 2,000+ users.

Repurposing an already-licensed, idle platform — zero new procurement

Organisations that hold together under change.

SituationTwo acquisitions landed in the same year — one an e-commerce operation, the other a logistics business whose infrastructure matched none of the existing internal standards.
DecisionRan standard onboarding at scale for the e-commerce entity, moving 3,000+ users into the centralised support model within 3 months. For the logistics entity, built a bespoke support scope instead of forcing a full infrastructure rebuild.
ResultBoth entities reached consistent SLA performance from day one — one through fast standardisation, the other by building around the exception rather than forcing a fit.

IT decisions that show up in the P&L.

SituationTwo separate openings within the same retail property role: an untapped opportunity in the parking operation, and an early-stage startup building WiFi-based footfall heatmapping technology.
DecisionProposed a proof-of-concept for the market's first cashless parking payment system, aligning ecosystem partners and combining licence plate recognition with cashless payment capabilities. Separately, partnered with the startup to bring their footfall heatmapping technology from prototype to full production on-site.
ResultParking utilisation data fed directly into tenant mix and revenue decisions. Footfall heatmapping identified tenant cold spots and contributed to sustaining 90%+ occupancy, later presented as a case study at a mall management industry seminar.
