Hi Mike interesting post. I have been in the IT Industry for 25 years. I had joined this industry when web development was taking off and I have vast experience working in .Net technologies previously. Currently I manage large scale software development programs. I work with products each of which have been using AI technologies for a while to provide great insights, more efficient and robust results. I would be happy to discuss with you in detail the requirement you have.

Mike Anderson I’m a growth marketing generalist – have sent you a message with my calndely link so we can discuss synergies and how i can potentially help here.

Dear TPC Community – I am new to the community and am here to introduce myself! I help professionals stop underselling themselves and start commanding the rooms they’ve earned the right to be in.
I came to this career via my stage experience and my ICF coach qualifications. I work with individuals and businesses to help people walk confidently onto whichever stage they need to deliver on and do so with the confidence that they need.
My portfolio career includes 25+ years as a classical singer, soloing at the BBC Proms at the Albert Hall, singing on over 100 film soundtracks (this year’s include Mission Impossible, Fantastic Four and Jurassic World) and as a backing vocalist for the likes of Take That, Pulp and Florence & the Machine. Beyond this, I have run music departments in London schools, run choirs, and taught singing.
I’m excited to see how this platform works and i’ll see some of you next Tuesday!
All best, Polly

Welcome Polly May
You are the second TPC member today I have interacted with whose first passion was singing – the other being Christabel Biella. Maybe the two of you could give us a duet at the Battersea Arts Centre on Tuesday?

Hey Polly
If you’re around this afternoon it would be lovely to see you at our Community Welcome call: https://portfolio-collective.com/events/getting-started-with-tpc/ We take 30 minutes to run through what TPC is about and what we have to offer, so is a strong way to start your time with us!
Shout if you have any questions in the meantime

Dear Polly, just a note to say that I love movie soundtrack / movie score music, and wanted to say that I listen to playlists of that genre of music constantly – so no doubt have heard you sing. How amazing, what a talent. I wish I could sing, but I was born with the good ears to appreciate what I am listening to. Best regards, John

Hey hey TPC Community!
I just joined this community, and am introducing myself!
I work with e-commerce startup and scale ups, helping founders build their visions into world class businesses with commercial, operational and product planning.
My career spans 20+ years working with some iconic grocery, lifestyle and homeware D2C e-commerce brands in the UK, EU & US, and I have worked with lots of fast growth startups over the last 8 years as a commercial leader. Most recently, I helped to launch BRiMM, a membership-led, planet positive e-commerce marketplace.
My passions outside of work include food, home interiors and renovating.
I’m excited to join this community as I continue to build my portfolio and can’t wait to connect with more of you at the career festival next week!
Best, Christabel

Hi Community,
I’m on a mission to help build purpose-led, self-managed organizations where culture, leadership, and well-being thrive.
To kick this off, I’m launching a series of online events- panel discussions designed to spark awareness and share practical insights.
I’m currently looking for speakers with experience in any of these areas who would like to exchange knowledge in an engaging and impactful conversation.
If you feel called to share your perspective and inspire others, I’d love to connect.

Hello Maria, sorry to have spotted this so late. I wonder if my knowledge may be of use to you. I have worked and learnt directly from Buurtzorg and supported many organisations looking to implement self management. I worked on a 6 year project across four countries where we recorded the barriers and challenges in adopting the model of self management in the health and social care sector. If you have questions I would be very happy to have a call to see how I might support your conversations.

👋 Hey everyone, I’m Mark.
I spent 20 years leading IT and operations teams in high-standards environments, building systems and teams that actually worked….. not just looked good on paper.
Over the past 9 months I’ve been running The No Bull Coach, helping newly promoted managers build confidence and clarity as leaders. That time has really sharpened my perspective on what makes teams tick and how to create the kind of trust and consistency that drives results.
I’m now exploring new opportunities to put both sides of that experience to use – whether that’s in a contract or permanent IT leadership role, or through fractional support for growing businesses that need a steady, people-first hand to guide their tech and teams.
Always happy to swap ideas, learn from others here, or chat about what makes leadership work in the real world.
Best/ Mark
