With a background as a former Microsoft auditor, Robert has spent years helping organizations navigate compliance challenges, optimize licensing portfolios, and reduce unnecessary costs.

Robert’s expertise spans contract governance, software asset management (SAM), and IT procurement strategy. He has conducted extensive Microsoft compliance reviews, led licensing optimization projects, and personally delivered over 120 Enterprise Licensing Plans (ELPs), helping organizations identify risks and unlock significant cost savings. In a notable achievement, Robert successfully delivered £4 million in savings on a Microsoft renewal for a public sector department, demonstrating his ability to secure tangible value for clients.

Beyond compliance, Robert has developed automation solutions to streamline licensing processes, ensuring companies can proactively manage their software entitlements. His experience includes providing consultancy for one of the largest managed services in the EU, delivering in-depth licensing analysis for a major cloud migration. He has advised organizations on Windows Server, SQL Server, Office 365, and other Microsoft enterprise solutions, ensuring they maintain both cost efficiency and regulatory compliance.
