Summary
Stuart Greenhall is a pragmatic CTO with 11+ years of hands-on software engineering and architecture experience, currently leading technology at Retail Spotlight from Greater Cambridge. He specialises in cloud-native replatforming, event-driven architectures and microservices, having driven monolith-to-serverless migrations, introduced FAAS to cut cloud costs, and designed Terraform-based Azure infrastructures. Stuart combines delivery-focused engineering leadership with extreme programming disciplines (TDD/BDD/CI/CD) and a polyglot approach to pick the best language for the problem. He has repeatedly delivered high-profile digital experiences for major UK brands—bringing product-aligned technology strategy to life while coaching teams to operate at pace. An early career background in mission-critical systems and mapping (Thales) gives him a practical appreciation for robustness often missing in purely web-first leaders.
