About Robert Howes

As an entrepreneur I am driven not only to achieve business success but ensuring that this is built on a reputation of integrity and delivery excellence. I actively promote a culture and work ethos based on quality and taking pride in one’s work. My passion remains grounded in technology and I believe a key factor to creating unique business value comes from realising that sophisticated problems do not necessarily require complex solutions. I am therefore drawn to ambitious opportunities where technology can be used to challenge the status quo, and prove that scalable and business viable solutions can be implemented to achieve even the most demanding objectives. As a technologist my outlook is to build systems, teams and processes that are as lean as possible. I believe avoiding unnecessary complexity leads to cost effective, flexible, agile and reliable solutions, built in their most elegant form. For me this is true sophistication, and as a philosophy eloquently embodied by the quote: “It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove." - Antoine de Saint Exupéry
