Stuart Lunn

Stuart Lunn

I have been involved in the technology sector since 2010, when I took my first foray into telecoms through Rainbow communications. I quickly worked my way into data solutions as well as on premise and hosted communication platforms, and later network security and data centre sales.

Earlier this year I made the move into Business intelligence and workflow automation platforms at izon, a brave new world but a fairly natural progression.

In my spare time I love reading (non fiction mainly) and have been a (very part time) working musician for over 20 years, with several tours and festivals under my belt, so after my talk please do come and say hi, there is always a good story.
