After 8 years of MagenTys and NTT DATA, the time has come for me to move on and start a new chapter in my career. Friday 31st January will be the my last working day as part of something that has played such a huge part of my life for almost a quarter of my lifetime.
Looking back to when I joined MagenTys in 2012, never would I have thought that we would achieve as much as we did. I am immensely proud of the careers we created not just for tech professionals but also the apprentices and graduates we took on, the people and teams at M&S, Hiscox, C4, UsTwo and Companies House that we have helped, all the partners we have worked with and who have grown alongside us.
Then, to think that we would have been able to create a business that would be acquired by one of the largest tech companies on the planet would have been crazy. But it happened and the MagenTys legacy now lives on as part of NTT DATA where the people, capabilities and clients are improving and growing.
Whilst we are all on separate paths now, I thank Hamish Tedeschi, Marwan Abdo, Kevin McGuire and David Ansell for welcoming me into MagenTys and for the faith they showed in the vision and ambition I had for the company. Growing a professional services company was hard but the highs definitely outweigh the lows.
Thank you also to Simon Williams, Neil Trussler and Tom Winstanley for bringing MagenTys into the NTT DATA family and best of luck to Sammi Evans, Jason Ford and Edo Tealdi in taking engineering excellence at NTT DATA to the next level.
As for my next challenge, it is going to be super exciting and can't wait to get started! Watch this space....

5 年Good luck Liam. I’m sure whatever you have planned for the future will be hugely successful. Let's hope that part of the exit plan is a retirement one. Haha!
Good luck on your new ventures Liam.?:-)
