About the founderSTRIVON

Enterprise technology, explained by someone who has worked inside it.

I have built my career across enterprise AI, customer decisioning, architecture and the delivery of large-scale change, most of it inside banks and other regulated organisations where technology decisions become very real.

My story

I have worked on different sides of the same enterprise technology problem.

My career has taken me through many different sides of enterprise technology, from specialist platform work and decision architecture to banking roles, migration programmes and delivery environments of every shape and size.

Along the way I kept seeing the same thing: professionals struggling to understand where their skills were heading, and organisations struggling to explain the capability they needed.

I started Strivon to make those areas easier to understand, through practical content and focused education, and in time through a better way to connect experienced professionals with serious opportunities.

Why this platform exists

Professionals often struggle to understand where their skills are heading, while organisations struggle to explain the capability they need. It is the same gap, seen from two sides, and this platform exists to close it.

What I believe

Seven beliefs that shape everything I publish.

I state them plainly, because they decide what does and does not make it onto this site.

  • AI should be practical, properly governed and connected to real business outcomes.
  • Enterprise delivery is about decisions, dependencies and accountability, not only about tools.
  • Professionals deserve clearer, more honest information about where their careers are heading.
  • Candidates should be in control of how and when recruiters approach them.
  • Recruiters should bring specific, serious opportunities rather than volume.
  • Education should build real capability rather than sell anxiety.
  • Technology platforms should earn trust through the way they work, not through what they promise.
Areas of experience

The experience behind everything published here.

Six areas of work, most of it inside large, regulated organisations. Everything published on this platform traces back to at least one of them.

See what I write about

Enterprise AI

Where AI helps, the governance it needs, and what it takes to move it from a promising pilot into production inside a large organisation.

Decisioning and personalisation

Decision architecture and next-best-action at enterprise scale, including deep specialist work on Pega Customer Decision Hub.

Solution architecture

Shaping the options, making the call and communicating it clearly enough that the decision survives contact with delivery.

Enterprise transformation

The underlying work of large-scale change, from modernising legacy estates and sequencing dependencies to keeping cutover risk honest.

Delivery leadership

Keeping programmes anchored to decisions, dependencies and accountability rather than to activity that merely looks like progress.

Regulated environments

Years inside banking and financial services, where compliance sign-off, audit and regulators shape every technical choice.

Beyond the platform

Alongside the platform I hold a small number of fractional executive roles, keynote speaking engagements and advisory board positions, all in these same areas and all on the same terms, with a defined remit agreed in writing.
