Summary
John Clarke is a Senior Project Manager and strategy consultant with 11+ years of experience leading complex digital transformations, CRM and customer experience programs across utilities, banking and insurance. He combines deep technical roots as a former DBA and infrastructure lead with executive-level delivery skills, having migrated large legacy systems to SaaS platforms like Dynamics 365 and overseen multi-stream Agile/Waterfall builds. Known for translating complexity into clear action, he designs pragmatic, outcome-driven plans that tie data capture and operational metrics to improved customer experience. He also advises SMEs through Clarke Strategic, offering rapid Business & Technology Reviews and practical AI adoption guidance to unlock growth and margin. Based in Cambridge with strong ties to Australia, he pairs an Executive MBA and published work on digital transformation with hands-on vendor negotiation wins and measurable performance improvements. A less obvious strength is his history of technical performance tuning and cost-optimisation, which helps him bridge strategy and low-level system efficiencies.
