Although my academic background was in language studies, I’ve been working with internet technologies for over twenty years, mostly doing classic web programming, followed by leading teams of developers. Technically, I have always been passionate about interface technologies. Now, I can combine my deep interest in linguistics and voice interfaces to contribute to the voice revolution.

I firmly believe that we, as consumers, are part of the “Voice Revolution”. Use cases, market potential and technological breakthroughs are growing exponentially. Because we have all the necessary building blocks at Reply, we need to document, bundle and channel our efforts to provide excellent voice solutions to Reply customers – and indeed – to ourselves, the IT-consumers of the 21st century!

My company, Cloud2020, is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy based in Gloucestershire, that operates across the UK and Ireland - we focus on the SMB market, helping to build their businesses through innovation.

I started out as a ship's navigator with Cunard before various roles in the navy, merchant navy, and Ministry of Defence, both in command and ultimately as an Admiralty Pilot serving in the UK and Gibraltar. After I came 'ashore' I ran companies in Hampshire and London, and the Careers Service National Association before starting my own business selling software at discount into the charity and education sector.

When the cloud came on the scene I quickly saw this was the way ahead and initially set up a business to deliver Office365. When Dynamics became a SaaS product I realised this was the product that most motivated my team, and also gave our customers some serious business advantages, so I moved the company to focus entirely to Dynamics 365.

I live with my wife in Gloucestershire along with our two horses, two goats, thirteen ducks, eight hens, three beehives and dog.

I love to spend my holidays yacht sailing, skiing or travelling and for relaxation I play saxophone and guitar in a band. On occasions you will also find me on the bridge of s.s. Shieldhall navigating this amazing ship around the Solent (https://ss-shieldhall.co.uk/)
