"Rorie is a killer CTO. He has that rare combination of big, long-term thinker and practical tactician. I've personally seen him lay out and execute on a transformative vision piece and yet stay nimble and responsive to changing circumstances. We spent plenty of time together in the trenches and I’d happily work with him again.
Carl Mesner Lyons
Flexible CMO, brand strategist, consultant and NED
"In my job almost everyone I meet is involved in technology but few people really understand or are passionate about how to apply it to innovate and transform business performance. Rorie is one of those people. He is also a skilled communicator and an inspirational leader – oh and we have also laughed a lot!"
Jan Davies
MD JD Marketing
"Rorie is a visionary, with the ability to set and direct strategy whilst putting in place the processes and approach necessary to test and learn at a tactical level. His focus is always on benefit delivery, quickly, something any commercially biased leader will welcome. Rorie exemplifies technology led change more than any other CTO I have met."
