Managing director, React Technologies

Career so far I was in the army before working for Kerridge Network Systems, ANS, ACC, Ericsson and now React Technologies.

Do you care about green IT? Not really, but some of our customers do, and that's what's important.

If you could be in a rock/pop band, which one would it be and who would you be?
Oh, I know this one… can I be Cheryl Cole please?!

What is the best corporate jolly you have ever been on/taken partners on? I flew an engineer to Lahore for a curry once. That was somewhat extravagant.

Has 2009 been as bad as everyone said it would be? Yep, and it isn't over yet.

Have any of your predictions come true this year? Too many, unfortunately.

What do you see as the channel's biggest challenge in 2010? Working out who to sell to when we get a change of government and the public spending bonanza comes to a shuddering halt.

What is the best part of your day? Coming to the office and seeing the happy smiling faces of my staff!
