Summary
Todd Whitehead is a seasoned cloud and applications leader with over 30 years of experience and a decade-plus specialising in Azure, AI-enabled apps, cloud-native architecture and app modernisation across financial services, energy, retail and public sectors. As Director of Cloud & Intelligent Apps and former Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, he blends hands-on development, architecture and developer productivity practices to help organisations accelerate transformation and reliably ship PaaS, serverless and containerised solutions. Todd is equally focused on cultural change—coaching teams in Agile and DevOps—to ensure technical choices deliver measurable business value. He’s a regular conference speaker and has a track record of migrating and modernising large platforms to Azure while driving integration and automation at scale. An unexpected thread through his career is a strong interest in applied education and human services, reflected in postgraduate study in autism alongside recent cybersecurity master’s work, which informs a pragmatic, people-centred approach to technical leadership.
