Ian is a highly accomplished CTO and Managing Director with three decades of experience driving competitive advantage and differentiation through transformative technology initiatives across many diverse B2B and B2C sectors. Ian loves learning how things ‘work’ – whether that be a home appliance, a piece of technology or an entire business. This has enabled him to lead customer-centric, industry-leading innovation.

Ian has worked in a diverse range of sectors for world-leading organisations such as McLaren, Betfair, Gazprom, AvisBudget, Carlson Wagonlit, XPO and Utilita Energy. He leverages technology and data to enter new markets, deliver efficiencies and ultimately support success through building and leading high-performance global teams.

Joining the Luxion Group (formerly Utilita Group) as CTO in 2019, Ian was tasked with forming a technology function to build upon its prepayment smart metering heritage that could become a stand-alone tech company leveraging the collective hundreds of years of experience and full range of in-house developed, world-class systems.

Ian embarked on a journey that saw the carve out of all technology assets and people; acquired four complimentary tech companies; led an initiative to raise capital through private equity and ultimately made Procode and its systems the envy of the energy-tech sector. He led many customer-first business initiatives, delivering new platforms, functionality and data-focused insights whilst navigating a complex regulatory landscape. These achievements not only contributed to Utilita surviving the energy crisis but have been recognised through numerous awards.

Ian joined Flui in July 2026 excited by the opportunity to continue his career with one of the sectors leading providers of energy tech platforms.

Whilst Ian is a techie at heart (as evidenced by five listings in the CIO100 - #3 in 2024), he is a business leader and advisor first and foremost. He bridges the gap between technical complexity and business value, engaging senior stakeholders both internally and externally.

When Ian is not delivering transformative technology, he leverages his practical bent transforming his family home as part of a never-ending property development adventure. And, whilst you can take the ‘Man out of McLaren’, you can’t take ‘McLaren out of the Man’ as he continues his love of F1.
