Hello, I’m Simon Kirby.

I'm a tech leader who helps legacy and not-for-profit organisations create modern tech, data and digital solutions.

I’m passionate about social good and tech. Succeeding with IT in legacy organisations requires respecting long-standing cultures, systems and processes that pre-date some modern ways of working.

My work has benefited over 50 clients, including Charities, Government Agencies, Educational Institutions and, along the way, some Global Companies, SMEs and start-ups.

I’m a former Chief Information Officer, Charity Founder, Trustee, and an MBA with certifications in Agile and Cybersecurity and a wealth of technical experience.
