I am co-author of the award-winning and ground-breaking book Team Topologies, and CEO & Principal at Conflux. The Team Topologies book was rated one of the ‘Best product management books of all time’ by Book Authority and is widely used by organizations worldwide to transform the way they deliver value.
I bring together principles and practices from multiple disciplines for a holistic approach to digitally-enriched operating models. I combine my experience as a leader and software architect in multiple contexts (GOV.UK, ecommerce, financial services, telecoms, pharma, retail, robotics, etc.) with a strong interest in the human side of organizations for a compassionate and humanistic approach to organizational effectiveness.

Before founding Conflux, I co-founded pioneering DevOps consultancy Skelton Thatcher Consulting together with Rob Thatcher where, between 2013 and 2017, we led industry thinking around software operability and DevOps topologies in particular. In 2017, we shifted focus onto our Team Guide series of books under Skelton Thatcher Publications.
I founded the first conference in Europe dedicated to Continuous Delivery, PIPELINE Conference (which ran from 2014-2018). I also founded the 2600-member London Continuous Delivery meetup group, which is now run by EngineerBetter. I now run SenseConf, the conference for organisational sensing.
In my spare time, I play in various music ensembles (trumpet, voice) and enjoy trail running.
