The Digital Evolutionist

[ EdTech Specialist | Emerging Tech Advocate | Innovative Thinker | Community Builder | Generative AI Strategist | Creative Problem-Solver | Public Speaker ]

With over 20 years of experience in IT strategy, digital transformation, and making technology work smarter for people, I specialise in solving problems and helping businesses grow. Whether it’s simplifying workflows with automation or showcasing the latest in Microsoft 365 and AI, I’m passionate about turning complex ideas into simple, practical solutions.

I’m known for explaining tricky tech concepts in ways that are easy to understand – whether that’s during a keynote, in a workshop, or over a coffee. My talks on emerging trends and real-world tech tips leave people inspired and ready to take action.

Connect with me

You’ll most often find me active on LinkedIn, where I share the latest tech insights, updates on local events, and my thoughts on the ever-evolving world of technology. It’s the best place to stay up-to-date on what I’m working on and where you can catch me live.

While I do have a presence on Facebook, it primarily mirrors my LinkedIn activity. On Instagram, you’ll find the occasional post, usually a duplication of content I’ve shared elsewhere—it’s not my go-to platform.

I’m far more active on YouTube, where I create and share how-to guides, live demos, and updates on the latest tech trends. If you enjoy learning through video content, I’d love for you to join me there.

No matter which platform you prefer, I’d be delighted to connect. And if you’d like to reach out directly, don’t hesitate to drop me an email below.
