What has been your personal highlight of 2021?

In my personal life, it is guiding my daughter through her first steps as a recording artist - watch this space. In work, it is still managing to grow our customer family - we have added more than 40 new customers so far with a quarter to go.

Which tech figurehead has impressed you the most this year, and why?

To be honest I am actually underwhelmed this year. There has not been anything that has stood out as impressive, very little innovation at all and everything just seems to be more of the same.

Which one lockdown habit do you plan to keep going?

Online poker - I love it.

Which face-to-face industry event are you most excited to return to, and why?

I hope that Infosec is the catalyst for big shows again. We need them.

If you had the time to learn one new skill, what would it be?

I would love to ride a motorcycle but only with a guarantee of never falling off or getting hurt.

If you could go back in time and tell your childhood self one thing, what would you say?

Buy as much property as humanly possible in the 80s and 90s.

If you had to sing karaoke, what would be your song of choice?

Down to Earth by Curiosity Killed the Cat. It is my go-to…

Sum 2021 up in three words.

Back on track.
