Justin has over 20 years’ experience in IT working almost exclusively in Networks and Security and has extensive knowledge in cloud computing, the delivery of complex IT programmes and assisted in overhauling network architectures to streamline existing infrastructures to deliver significant benefits. He has worked in both the private and public sectors, spanning the technology, telecommunications, finance and insurance industries including Vodafone and Aviva.

Justin co-founded Cloud Gateway to do networks differently. As a networking veteran, Justin was frustrated by the lack of innovation in the space. Amid the clamour to become cloud-native, little thought was being given to on-prem operations, and even less to the corporate network holding everything together. Cloud Gateway was born from a shared frustration that the network had been left behind, and that those providing connectivity services were slow and reluctant to change.

He is a Norfolk boy, born and bred with a huge passion for sport, mostly football and American Football. He is a lifelong supporter of Norwich City, Earsham FC (Up the Otters!) and is the extremely proud Manager of Diss Town Under 13s. Justin is a season ticket holder for American Football team, New Orleans Saints and considers the city his home away from home and a place he loves spending time in.
