Ian is an exceptionally talented technical and learning content creator. I had the pleasure of working closely with him for a number of year as both a colleague and friend, and later as my manager. What sets Ian apart is his passion for education and a genuine commitment to enhancing the value a learning experience provides. He continuously seeks innovative ways to improve the educational journey, staying abreast of the latest trends and technologies in the field. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it inspires those around him to strive for excellence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ian to anyone seeking a dedicated professional with exceptional skills in creating learning content or managing a team of like minded creators. Ian would undoubtedly make a significant and positive impact on any educational or training initiative.
