about Jerry

I'm a technologist with over 30 years experience in both private and public sectors. I work with a variety of clients, providing technology leadership, implementation guidance and deep dive reviews. I also write articles and academic papers that draw on my professional experience of what works – and what doesn't.

When I get time I also write the occasional book, develop apps (see "London Explorer") and compose music. I'm the Chief Technology Officer of VoeTek, an independent technology company aiming to promote the upside of technology and avoid the downside, and Co-Founder and Principal of Stance Global.
