Damian has a background working in and managing technology strategy and teams in various sectors, and has worked with web-facing software applications since the early nineties when he worked in electronic publishing, adopting very early many of the web-based tools that businesses take for granted across the enterprise today. From 1996 Damian’s work involved managing databases, data migration, data integration and the web-enabling of data-centric applications, after which he built an internet design and development company before joining Yell in 2001 as Head of Technical Development for yell.com, yellmobile.com and yelldirect.com. At Yell Damian was responsible for implementing and continuously improving a sustainable, resilient and scalable technology strategy and architecture that served over 80 million page impressions per month. Subsequently he joined vielife as CTO specifically both to refresh the technology platform that provides their product portfolio, and to represent the company’s technology to clients and to potential investors. After he implemented the necessary technological changes and helped take the company through an intensive investment round that lasted for much of the year, vielife was bought by CIGNA, a large, US-based healthcare provider, at the end of 2006. Since then Damian has worked as a technology consultant for the publisher of the Times Educational Supplement, before joining the Lawton Communication Group, which includes the digital agencies Five By Five and Headstream, as Group Technology Director. He holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in history from the University of Leeds.
