I build award-winning teams that deliver digital learning at scale.

Currently leading an 18-person multi-disciplinary team at Mercedes-Benz UK, I’ve spent the last decade transforming technical training from traditional classroom delivery into modern digital learning ecosystems.

What I’ve Built

Production Scale-Up

Scaled video production from 2 people to a 6-person team delivering 350+ projects annually.

Strategic Delivery

Led business-critical content for Mercedes-Benz’s franchise-to-agency transition: 100+ videos in 12 months.

Automation Systems

Engineered a custom Monday.com system eliminating scheduling conflicts and optimising 18-person crew utilisation.

Media Infrastructure

Built QNAP NAS infrastructure to support distributed editing workflows and reliable asset delivery.

Learning Reach

Developed digital learning content serving 150+ UK retail locations at scale.

My Approach

I don’t just manage teams. I build the technical systems behind them. From process automation and workflow optimisation to scaling operations under pressure, I combine strategic leadership with hands-on technical problem-solving.

What Drives Me

I care about creating learning experiences that genuinely change how people work. The right combination of technology, content, and delivery can turn training from “mandatory compliance” into something people value and use.

Technical Edge

Most L&D leaders manage content creation. I also engineer the systems behind it: automation platforms, media infrastructure, resource management tooling, and workflow optimisation. That technical foundation is what enables team performance at scale.

Continuous Learning

30+ years in automotive has taught me discipline, precision, and execution under pressure. I’m now bringing that expertise to broader sectors including higher education, corporate L&D, EdTech, and professional services.

Let’s Connect

I’m always happy to discuss digital learning strategy, team development, learning technology infrastructure, and scaling production operations.
