Back to meet the team

Consultant

Hi, I'm Lewis and I'm a Consultant within the Technology and Business Transformation team at Harvey Nash.&nbsp;
I am based in the Edinburgh office and specialise in the Cloud and Cyber contracts market across Scotland. I am an expert in the contract market and cover a wide range of roles.
Example roles I recruit for include:
<ul>
<li>Cloud Engineer/ Architect</li>
<li>Cyber Security Engineer/Architect</li>
<li>Security Risk Advisors</li>
<li>SOC Analysts</li>
</ul>
My recruitment journey started in Yorkshire in 2018, before my move to Edinburgh in 2019, where I have continued to develop my knowledge within the Cloud and Cyber contract market, often attending local events to get connect with local experts.&nbsp;
Outside of work, I love all things football, I play in a couple of amateur football leagues on the weekends, as well as watch it at any given chance. I'm very sociable and will take any chance for a long weekend abroad to explore a new city.
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is, "Life is short, enjoy every moment!"
