Sight Beyond the Noise
Site IT Manager with over 25 years of experience delivering secure, reliable, and commercially focused IT services across manufacturing, professional services, and multi-site environments. Experienced in leading site-level IT operations, improving service performance, reducing operational risk, and delivering infrastructure, security, and operational improvements in businesses where downtime carries real cost.
My background combines hands-on infrastructure responsibility with service ownership, supplier management, operational reporting, security control, and continuous improvement across production-critical and multi-site environments.
I am accountable for day-to-day IT operations, incident and problem management, service improvement, and risk reduction. My work is focused on keeping business-critical services stable while improving how environments are governed and supported.
I work confidently across Microsoft hybrid platforms including AD, Exchange, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, DNS, DHCP, GPO, Windows Server, virtualisation and containerisation with VMware, Proxmox, and Docker, Linux administration across Debian and CentOS-based environments, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery.
My strongest work is in understanding existing environments, exposing dependencies, improving visibility, and turning isolated processes into a more coherent operational and data-driven view through practical controls, automation, and structured change.
My experience includes leadership and hands-on delivery across manufacturing, managed services, legal services, and client-facing engineering roles. That range supports both strategic decision-making and practical execution in complex operational environments.
