Responsible for : • Transforming the way the public sector buys IT commodity services • G-Cloud and Digital Services Programme Director • Delivering a new world-class digital marketplace for IT services Career so far : I started life as a civil servant in the MOD and held a wide range of varied roles, including finance and budget management, procurement, the Office of Management and Budget, and working in a Private Office. In 1997 I moved to the Cabinet Office and joined the Modernising Public Services Group. It was here that I became passionate about improving public services and making them fit for the 21st century. I joined the Office of the e-Envoy in March 2001 where I worked on the e-Government programme and the target to e-enable public services by 2005. From there I was appointed as Directgov programme manager in 2004 and became the COO in 2008. I then successfully managed the business start-up of the Government Digital Service from when it was formed in 2011 to March 2014 and also took over as G-Cloud Programme Director in June 2013. Still working in GDS I became the Director of the Digital Commercial programme in March 2014, continuing as G-Cloud programme Director.
