Hi! After 30 years development in languages as diverse as COBOL and JavaScript, I set up my own company to bring 'Innovation Insider' knowledge to clients.

I'm lucky enough to be one of the founders of UK retailer Tesco’s online service, serving online customers with wine, books and groceries from the mid-1990s.

I also formed Tesco’s first innovation team in 2000, testing and implementing new technologies to help make work simpler and easier for colleagues. I'm passionate about access for all so built the ‘Tesco Access’ site for vision-impaired customers and the first mobile phone app for grocery shopping in 2003 as well as the first Tesco iPhone app in 2009.

I'm one of several co-founders of Tesco Labs, the retailer's innovation group.

Today, post-Tesco, I indulge my continued love of coding to bring innovative solutions to life. I also speak and chair retail and innovation conferences around the world.
