Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvor Caldwell is a seasoned technology leader and Director based in Greater Leeds with over a decade of experience driving engineering and product transformations across startups and scale-ups. He has led large, cross-functional organisations—most recently overseeing 10 product, mobile and data teams at BigChange—and specialises in turning fragmented delivery into repeatable, value-focused outcomes through pragmatic agility, visual flow techniques and coaching. At Infinity Works he scaled technical excellence across 600+ consultants, shaping hiring, practices and progression frameworks that improved quality and client outcomes. Ivor combines deep technical roots (early career senior developer and solutions architect roles) with strategic leadership, routinely translating C-suite priorities into executable roadmaps and security improvements such as company-wide Auth0 adoption. He now consults and trains independently, pairing hands-on engineering judgment with workshop-driven cultural change—often using gamified training to accelerate adoption. An astrophysics graduate with an MSc in neural networks, he brings analytical rigour and a knack for simplifying complex systems.
