Leadership · the senior core and the delivery team

The people who scope it have sat in the chair the client sits in now.

DigitalArmy is built around a bound senior core of operators who have run enterprise technology at scale and answered to a board and a regulator for it. Delivery scales through a network of specialist developers under that senior architecture.

  1. Telco + insurer
    Run at scale
    Enterprise technology and CIO-level leadership across a major telecommunications group and a regulated insurer.
  2. Board & regulator
    Answered to both
    The senior core has been personally accountable for the systems it ran.
  3. Core + network
    How delivery scales
    Specialist developers deliver under the senior architecture, so quality and response time hold as engagements grow.
