Which tech figurehead do you admire the most?
Elon Musk. What a visionary, from space travel to sustainable energy production! A close friend of mine works for him at SpaceX and a visit to the facility is high on my bucket list.
What's the biggest challenge facing the industry no-one is talking about yet?
Speed of change and ability/cost for companies to adapt.
If you could invite three famous people to dinner, who would they be?
Beethoven - a musical visionary. What would he compose now?; Charlotte Bronte - how would she view women's place in world today?; Oscar Wilde - "To define is to limit".
How has 2017 been for you?
Extremely busy. We are investing heavily in our cloud and security competencies. As the pace of change accelerates it's a challenge we get to help our clients with on a regular basis.
What's the most extravagant business lunch you've ever had?
Well, Irish food is among the best in the world and I was lucky to be invited by a long-time channel friend (thanks Emer) to savour the tasting lunch menu at Greenhouse in Dublin. #AmuseBouche
Which global city best matches your personality?
Paris. A combination of art, culture and style.
What would be your super-hero power?
Superman speed so I could do a bit of space travel!
Complete this sentence. The worst thing about our rivals is… they highlight your imperfections. But perhaps that's the best thing?

Chilli.
