Summary
Stefan Thorpe is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with two decades of hands-on and management experience delivering secure, highly available infrastructure and application solutions for enterprise clients. He has led multi-million pound programs and designed scalable cloud architectures—saving 15% in IT project costs while improving availability for clients including RBS, Dublin Airport Authority, and Siemens. A proven founder and serial operator, he bootstrapped startups and built profitable cloud offerings on AWS using EC2, RDS, SQS and hybrid deployments. Stefan blends deep networking, virtualization and systems expertise (Linux, Windows Server, VOIP, VLANs/QoS) with strong commercial instincts in budgeting, financial analysis and strategic planning. At Cherre he now applies that mix to unify complex real‑estate data for institutional customers, turning messy sources into a single source of truth. Outside the obvious, he pairs low-level scripting and automation chops with a background in training and operations, which helps him translate technical strategy into measurable project efficiency gains.
