T-Mobile’s customers benefit from its unmatched combination of value and quality, unwavering obsession with offering them the best possible service experience and indisputable drive for disruption that creates competition and innovation in wireless and beyond…

I have a bachelor’s degree in Management & IT from the London Guildhall University, and a master’s in Management from the University of Cambridge. I'm also a Fellow of the British Computer Society in recognition of my work as a CIO and CTO.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling the world with my wife, being chased by my cat, volunteer charity work, board advisory roles for tech startups, and playing computer games, especially MMORPGs.

I am experienced investor and hold a number of advisory roles and non-executive directorships, and I always look for opportunities to combine my love of innovation and technology.

ABOUT Google:

Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
