Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulian Topley is a senior cloud delivery manager and strategic technologist with over 25 years’ experience in London and New York, currently accountable for Lloyds Banking Group’s storage and backup estate. He specialises in modernising enterprise storage, driving large-scale SAN consolidations and zero-downtime migrations that reduce risk, cost and emissions while improving resilience and data protection. His background includes nearly two decades designing global storage infrastructure at Goldman Sachs and hands-on work with container-native storage and CSI integrations at StorageOS, giving him fluency across legacy, hybrid and cloud-native platforms. He blends technical leadership, vendor and risk governance, and sustainability-minded engineering to prepare platforms for AI-ready workloads. Julian is also an active coach and writer on infrastructure strategy, inclusive design and systems thinking, and he leverages an architecture training to connect operational detail with long-term lifecycle strategy. An understated strength is his facility for translating complex platform trade-offs into operationally durable outcomes that align with business and regulatory needs.
