most memorable achievement?
Taking a 1.0 product called Unicenter Service
Level Management and turning it into one
of the largest, most profitable new products
for Computer Associates, and running that
product lifecycle until I left the organisation.
What first made you think of a
career in technology?
Believe it or not, Star Trek. As an avid Sci-Fi

to embark on everything from building robotic
Legos to teaching myself how to programme.
What style of management
philosophy do you employ with your
current position?
I prefer to let my employees make their own

that. To me, being a manager is mostly about
empowerment, suggestions and guiding my
team to help them make the right decisions
to better themselves and the organisation.
What do you think will emerge as the
technology trend of 2019 and why?

making them all unique. This trend will
impact everything from home electronics to
commercial-grade equipment.

the major areas of investment in
your industry?

investment in cybersecurity. There are
a variety of tools that we use to protect
