Ian Lawson

“Ian worked with me on projects at Logica and impressed me massively with a necessary tenacity to get things done and to follow through on actions and deliverables - even in the face of management alacrity/lack of understanding/ambivalence. His grasp of the need to embrace better ways of working and his almost oracle like ability to turn ideas and data into better ways of working, and more intelligent agile controls for common aims will hold him in quite a unique cadre of people in the UK IT industry. There be dragons... Richard”

“Ian is extraordinarily proficient at architecting and building modern Java based systems, especially using Agile methods to quickly prototype solutions to unclear problems. Whilst some see Agile as soft and flexible, Ian has also shown a rigid discipline in ensuring agile development delivers tested components for a set of agreed functions. oh, and he knows more about enterprise search than anyone else I know!!”
