Alan Bourne is a pragmatic technology and operations leader with 12+ years building and scaling e-learning and digital services at Sponge, now serving as Chief Operations Officer for bespoke programs. He combines hands-on development chops (ActionScript, HTML, JS, PHP) and a love of coding with strategic program and M&A delivery, having led the integration of four businesses into a unified organisation. Known for creating practical systems—company-wide KPI frameworks, profitability trackers, and Dynamics 365 rollouts—he thrives on turning messy processes into automated, measurable workflows. Comfortable moving between boardroom strategy and writing automation, he also experiments with AI tools to remove repetitive tasks and boost efficiency. Based in Liskeard, UK, Alan pairs technical depth and financial literacy to lead diverse teams and reliably "get stuff done."
