Summary
Gareth Webber is a seasoned technology executive and CIO with 25 years’ experience leading product-led digital transformations for blue‑chip organisations, now driving growth and customer engagement at Clarion Events. He blends strategic vision—shaping platform, cloud and security strategies—with hands‑on delivery, having scaled teams to 400+ FTE, introduced AI products, and shifted release cadence from quarterly to biweekly. Gareth is practiced at combining onshore and offshore delivery to cut costs without losing velocity and has a track record of turning legacy workflows into automated, platform‑based services that unlock measurable revenue and productivity gains. Equally comfortable influencing at board level and mentoring engineers, he routinely ties technology choices to commercial outcomes such as channel shift, conversion uplift and M&A readiness. A Cambridge graduate in Management and Computer Science, he brings an uncommon mix of editorial, product and enterprise IT experience across media, events and market‑insight businesses.
