Summary
Robert Egglestone is a senior technology leader and SVP of Software Engineering with over 20 years of experience modernising delivery, operations and architecture for large, complex organisations. He has repeatedly built high-performing, cross-functional teams and led agile and technology transformations that reduced overheads, accelerated delivery, and improved cost-efficiency—most notably reorganising application teams at a top-ranked university to support 42,000 students. Equally comfortable with strategy and hands-on technical improvement, he combines product-aligned governance, DevOps practices and continuous improvement to align IT to business outcomes. Now leading engineering at Trilogy from a base in Malta, he brings a track record of scaling delivery from small teams to hundreds of practitioners and turning legacy risks into reliable, cloud-ready platforms. Unusually, his career spans both founding a hosting business and deep university IT service delivery, giving him practical operational instincts alongside organisational change expertise.
