Leadership Team

Dan is a nationally recognised leader in education, skills, and government policy, with over 15 years at the forefront of some of the UK's most significant publicly funded education programmes. As CEO and Co-Founder of ProvisionIQ, he brings a rare combination of policy influence, operational credibility, and a deep personal commitment to improving outcomes for pupils.

Throughout his career, Dan has operated at senior level working with the highest levels of government, building trusted relationships with senior civil servants and ministers across the Department for Education, the Department for Work and Pensions, and Skills England. He has directly shaped national policy priorities, influenced funding models, and translated complex government reform into real-world delivery programmes at scale.

Dan has held executive and board-level roles across some of the UK's most respected education organisations, overseeing portfolios of up to £50m+ and leading large-scale national programmes spanning apprenticeships, skills, employability, and EdTech. He has led Ofsted inspection processes, driven qualification achievement improvements, and built high-performance cultures that deliver lasting change.

A Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute, the Institute of Employability Professionals, and the Royal Society of Arts, Dan's governance credentials are equally strong — serving as Chair of a school board for over 10 years, and as an advisory board member across multiple sector bodies.

Liam leads the technology vision and engineering delivery behind ProvisionIQ, bringing close to two decades of software development experience to a platform built for one of education's most complex and consequential challenges.

His career has been shaped predominantly by the EdTech sector — specifically within assessment and awarding environments where the margin for error is minimal and the stakes for the individuals involved are high. That background has instilled a rigour and precision in how he approaches software architecture and product design that is rarely found in platforms of this kind.

For over a decade, Liam has led software development at a management level, overseeing teams and departments of between 6 and 40 people across the full development lifecycle — from initial requirements and architecture through to delivery and ongoing performance. He brings that same discipline and accountability to ProvisionIQ, where his remit spans the entirety of the platform's technical and IT landscape: product ownership, system architecture, infrastructure, data security, and engineering delivery.

What sets Liam apart is his refusal to treat technology as an end in itself. His focus is unwaveringly on the solution — on understanding what schools, SEND coordinators, and local authorities genuinely need, and building software that meets those needs with integrity and precision. Every architectural decision is made with the platform's users in mind: the SENCo managing a complex caseload, the trust leader needing reliable data, the pupil whose outcomes depend on the system working properly.

In his role as CTO, Liam ensures that ProvisionIQ is not only technically robust and secure, but that it continues to evolve in step with the realities of the sector it serves.
