Craig Ambler

Lead Principal Associate

Over the last 20 years, Craig has been a CIO for many medium to large organisations across multiple sectors and seems to have found his niche at turning around transformations, IT organisations and engagement. Not to mention delivering leading innovative digital and technology products. For the last 7 years, as an independent consultant, Craig has continued the ‘recovery’ theme in addition to creating directional strategies for organisations technology aligned to their overall goals which have turned into programmes of work which he has overseen, along with performing overall transformation directorship roles for organisations going through an acquisition or divestment. Lastly, Craig is an advisor for two start-up businesses in the HealthTech space.

On a personal level, Craig lives in York with his wife and 2 French Bulldogs (Freddy & Franky) and invests a lot of my time having great experiences and developing his wellbeing…with the odd mid-life crisis of passing my motorbike test and getting a big adventure motorbike. His ‘thing’ at the moment which really sets him up for the day is his 5am routine (grabbed from the acclaimed author Robin Sharma’s book…the 5am Club). It entails 20 minutes of intense exercise, followed by 20 minutes of meditation, journaling and planning out his day and finally 20 minutes of learning whether it be from a podcast, an audio book or simply a YouTube channel.
