Director of strategy, Northamber

What achievement are you most proud of?

Since joining Northamber almost two years ago, we have had many successes including the launch of our annual Tech Expos, the signing of various key vendors and the formation of our new solutions division.

What has been the biggest change in the channel since you started working in it?

The rise in the number of MSPs operating within the channel.

What three things could you not live without?

1. My BlackBerry - I would feel detached from the world without email access. 2. My car - I commute daily from London to the office. 3. My passport - I love to travel whether for work or pleasure.

What is your guilty pleasure?

As often as I try to eat healthily, no working week is complete without at least two large Domino's pizzas. Specifically, these have to be Hawaiian with no mushrooms baked on a thin crust.

Has 2015 been a good, bad or ugly year?

2015 has been good for Northamber. We launched our Solutions team, signed multiple big-name vendors, won or were finalists for numerous channel awards and grew our core strategic franchises as we continue our transition strategy.
