I left HP at the end of July 2015 to take a break and write a book on Cloud Computing, which has been published by MIT Press. My professional experience to date is as follows. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services (2007-2015)

Chief Technologist (CTO): 2010-2015

Responsibilities included IT strategy, governance, and innovation with team leadership at a senior level. Leading my team of Solution Architects, Chief Architects and Architects, I was accountable for the innovation agenda, technology 3

strategy including IT roadmaps, providing governance by being a design authority and client relationship. Some of my key achievements are listed below.

February 2013 to July 2015: Chief Technologist, Healthcare sector. Healthcare was one of HP group’s four strategic sectors. My role was to establish a Chief Technology Office and capability for healthcare to increase revenue through innovation. I obtained funding for an innovative project using IoT and machine learning technologies for Healthcare, which included creating a team from various disciplines and countries for the project.

October 2010 to February 2013: Account Chief Technologist. An NHS Trust account had undergone various setbacks during transformation to HP’s new WP360 technology and the client was threatening to cancel the contract. I was brought in to provide technology leadership and governance to address this situation. I created a governance structure to ensure that the transformation ran smoothly, especially when introducing new technologies such as single sign-on, application virtualization and BYOD. The transformation was completed on time without further setbacks. Also, I built a team to enhance the IT roadmap and strategy function so that we could provide proactive input to the client on the financing and planning of future projects and refresh cycles.

In Scandinavia, the paper industry has been declining as a result of magazine and newsprint readers migrating to the internet. This poses challenges because many overhead costs associated with IT remain constant since a minimum, viable, IT capability needs to be maintained. A large part of those overhead costs come from capital expenditures during refresh cycles as well as maintenance and support costs. I proposed a private community cloud service that could be shared across the Scandinavian paper industry by Norsk Skorge with its partners. As a result, a long-term project for Norsk Skorge was created and a decision made to ensure that new pursuits in the paper industry would be considered as candidates using my Scandinavian paper industry cloud model. Chief Architect: 2009-2010

I was responsible for defining technology standards and policies for HP Enterprise. Operationally, this included: meeting KPIs aligned to OLAs and SLAs, change management, definition of IT roadmaps, being a design authority, project management, and communications with key stakeholders. Wrote a paper on the relative merits of the various system and software development life-cycle models (SDLC models) that was published by the ACM’s Software Engineering Notes in May 2010; this led to innovative work on the refinement of TOGAF methods to produce agile enterprise architectures. I was a mentor to a French Chief Architect on the creation of solution and enterprise architectures. Lead Architect: 2008-2009

I was part of a team that won a new account in the Financial Services sector for HP with a TCV of $1 billion. Created a global requirements and responsibilities matrix for the American Express account to resolve conflicting requirements across global business regions, and to drive consistent decision making as a team during transformation to FMO at a workstream level.

Infrastructure Architect: 2007-2008

Using Scrum techniques, I formulated the IT strategy for the separation of ABN Amro’s transaction banking business unit as part of its merger with RBS. This involved architecting the migration of the payment and settlement processing system comprising of over 10,000 servers, a database server farm and hundreds of applications. Main challenge was to effect the separation on-the-fly and seamlessly without any outages. Nayika Limited (2004-2005)

Founded and ran a startup company that developed Linux based appliances such as RAID storage servers, web servers, firewalls and VOIP servers.

Freelance Software Architect (2006-2007 and 1994-2004) Worked as an independent IT consultant in the Financial Services Industry (Daiwa Bank, UBS, Abbey National, Nasdaq Europe) as well as the electricity trading departments of utility companies (Eastern and Powergen). Details on a selection of the assignments are provided below.

Nasdaq(Europe) wanted to build the first real-time straight-through-processing engine in Europe with immediate settlement in New York at DTCC. This meant integrating DTCC's technology in the back office with Reuter's trade screens in the front office using SWIFT. The design, coding, testing (functional and non-functional) of the system was delivered within budget and on time using agile techniques. Thread pools were used for the multi-threaded C/C++ application that provided failover, interfaced with Oracle databases, and used certified/persistent messaging with IBM WebSphereMQ and Tibco for integrating the transactions. At Pioneer Investments, I championed SOA technology through board-level presentations, and built from scratch a team of seven including two project managers, a business analyst and developers. I managed the SOA based EAI work-stream that comprised three projects: a) Data modelling, b) EAI strategy and policy definition, and c) Reconciliation of reference data, trades and positions between the front and middle office systems. This resulted in the integration of the front and middle office applications across global sites for the company to provide standardisation and cost efficiencies. My work at Pioneer Investments contributed to the MDDL data format, which is used by companies in the financial services industry for data integration. Most asset classes were covered as part of the integration framework: equities, fixed income securities, derivatives, forex, and cash. I was seconded to ING Bank by Tibco as their consultant. My responsibilities at ING are listed below.

• Audited a BusinessWorks implementation of an Atlas to Kondor+ interface.

• Planning, specification, and design of a financial markets trade monitor web application. The application monitored trades routed via Tibco’s Businessworks process management and incorporated the following technologies: RAD, Java, JDBC, LDAP, JNDI, Tibco EMS and the Tibco Rendezvous Java API.

• Advised on MQSeries interfacing to Atlas with BusinessWorks.

• Asset classes included exchange-traded derivatives, forex, bonds and equities. I was seconded by Net2s (now BT Services) to help Daiwa deploy the Tibco suite of active enterprise software by analyzing their requirements with regard to their existing environment, and to recommend ways to deploy Tibco BusinessWorks, InConcert and Hawk in production. Specifically, I was asked to investigate the following:

• Change Management and Control procedures (this considered not only the Tibco deployment, but also all the other software products deployed at Daiwa).

• Migration from development to test and production environments, which included configuration management.

• Availability (where I assessed the failover architecture, and recommended a fault-tolerant architecture for automatic failure recovery).

• Multicast Security (I recommended ways to enhance the security of messages over the multicast network deployed at Daiwa).

• Backup and Recovery procedures and processes.

• I led a team of two Net2s consultants at Daiwa on behalf of Net2s. EDUCATION AND TRAINING
