I started out as a professional drummer (notice I didn’t say musician) before joining Apple’s UK Mac launch team and discovering a passion for technology. That moment stuck — and I’ve now spent over 40 years in software development and the wider tech industry. As founder of OpenCRM, I now split my time between being Managing Director and holding the arguably more enjoyable title of System Architect.
