This Q&A appeared in Oxygen 250 2025, in which Roc Technologies ranked 103rd. IT Channel Oxygen members can download the full report here.

As Roc’s newly promoted CTO, what’s the most critical item in your inbox?

We work with clients in vital sectors of society including local government, critical national infrastructure and education; many of those organisations are deploying new and emerging technologies, so my priority is helping them realise the strategic benefits of their technical investments.

Whether it’s guiding organisations towards improved productivity, enhanced user or customer experiences or effective deployment of real time applications to support public welfare, it’s those projects that sit at the top of my to-do list.

What’s been your high point of 2024?

What became very apparent in 2024 was the opportunity presented by the innovative technology that we now have at our fingertips. We’re no longer future gazing towards a day when automation and AI platforms provide business benefits: we are actively exploring how these technologies can enhance both our operations and those of our customers and implementing them at scale. 

What drove your decision to launch a SOC in December?

Roc has built a solid reputation in highly secure and highly governed industries. Our facilities have attained a number of accreditations from ISO, the Ministry of Defence, UK policing and the Office of Nuclear Regulation, alongside existing partnerships with prominent cyber security companies. Therefore, the formal launch of the SOC felt very much like a natural next step for Roc.

What metrics or achievements would make it a successful 2025 for Roc?

Significant growth is a key objective, but not just by any means necessary. We want to sustainably grow our lifetime managed services with continual improvements to benefit our customers.
