- A recent example of your leadership style:
- We recently centralized a key IT function into my team.

- A career highlight:
- While CIO of the retail division of British Telecommunications, one of my last projects was collaborating on the design of the communications services network for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. I attended the opening event of the Summer Games and was thrilled to see how it all came to life.
