In announcing the appointment Equinox Managing Director Roger Dalgleish said “When organisations go through business
change there is often corresponding technology complexity and a systems change required. We needed someone with
experience in technical architecture consulting but who also understood strategy and business change, to lead our
consulting business at Equinox. We are very pleased to have Julian join the company to lead our business change and
technical consulting activities.”

is an email system, a website or a large business system, so working with a company that is leading the way in how
organisations maximise their technology assets is exciting.”
