About

Internationally experienced. Locally accountable.

Blueridge is a business growth and digitisation platform, powered by a group of solutions experts coming together in unique ways.

“The team is made up of internationally experienced digital technology and service provision leaders. All of us have worked as members of C-suite, as board members, or in similar positions at international companies.”

I have acted as a non-executive director and previously worked as a Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer. Collectively we have mentored, advised, guided, structured and managed transformational change across financial and corporate environments, crisis response and threat negation, technical and management training, and interim management to implement and roll out projects.

We have advised across a variety of industry sectors on business strategy development, with a focus on digitisation, platform ecosystems and wide-scale business transformation to increase revenue, agility and drive sustainable growth.

We maximise efficiencies across operations, finance, security, data governance, sustainability and product versus platform economics, as well as improving business continuity, resilience and cybersecurity — safeguarding reputation and protecting the bottom line.
