Richard Davis

I’m currently exploring new opportunities in the £80K–£100K+ range across senior IT leadership roles. I’ve spent over 20 years working in infrastructure, support, and security, and I’m now looking for a role where I can take on broader strategic responsibility while still staying close to the core of technical delivery.

In my current position at a global cybersecurity consultancy, I lead infrastructure operations and endpoint security, with a strong focus on compliance, performance, and resilience. I’ve managed teams through infrastructure change, system standardisation, and audit-driven environments, while also improving service and support frameworks to match business growth.

What I’m increasingly focused on is the practical implementation of AI and automation. I’m interested in where these technologies can reduce overhead, improve system insight, and simplify workflows—not as buzzwords, but as tools that genuinely support smarter operations. I’m keen to bring that mindset into my next role, alongside my background in building stable, secure platforms.

If you're recruiting for roles where this mix of experience would be relevant, I’d welcome the opportunity to speak further. I’m especially interested in positions where there’s space to modernise infrastructure, improve service delivery, and explore how intelligent systems can support the wider strategy.

Thanks for your time, and I hope we can connect.
