Roger is our Chief Operating Officer (COO), a co-founder and an executive director of the company. From 1995 to 2020, Roger led Equinox IT as managing director.

His focus is on operational excellence in support of sales and client project delivery.

"Equinox IT was created to offer clients independent thinking when assessing (often exaggerated) vendor technology promises. Like our clients, we value IT solutions that are genuinely better, faster, and more cost-effective."

Roger's 50-year experience in the IT industry gave him the experience he now uses in the COO role:

• Strategic leadership: strategy development, plan execution and business governance
• Operational excellence: service design, team development and business process simplification.
• Commercial delivery: sales target definition and management, contract negotiations and risk management.

Roger sees attending the 'Executive Program for Growing Companies' at Stanford University, Palo Alto as a highlight. He also enjoys ongoing development through collaboration with Equinox IT consultants and industry thought leaders on emerging technologies and ways of working.

Based in Southland, Roger achieves balance through family, travel, hands on building projects and fixing stuff.

"We are a people business that strives to excel in attracting, developing and challenging people who want to make a real contribution to our clients' digital success."
