policeman or a fireman.
Q In charge for the day, what world
problem would you address?
A Cancer.

I’m straight into my gym or football kit.

playing both.

Q When it comes to energy resources
(for data centres/IT) is the glass half-
empty or half-full?
A Half full - despite being energy
consumers, there’s plenty of positive
work being done around the use of
renewable energy sources in DCs
especially with new technologies being
introduced on a regular basis.
Q Where does the time machine take you
and why?
A I have a number of things I would like
to go back for ….but as a big football
fan it would be to attend that 1966
World Cup Final and video it in HD.
Q Bring Your Own Device or Bring Your
Own Disaster (waiting to happen at
some point in the future)?
A Bring Your Own Device – people want
to be free to use the laptops and
mobile devices they’re comfortable
with at home for work as well, rather
than being dictated to be their IT
department.
