Digital Transformation for Higher Education
Before co-founding PACT, Aaron spent over 15 years leading and working on digital transformation across higher education, financial services, telecoms and real estate. He specialises in turning complex programmes into clear, deliverable roadmaps, I combining strategy, robust governance and pragmatic change management. He has led multi-year, multi-million-pound initiatives, worked closely with executive teams and suppliers, and most recently delivered a full Tribal SITS implementation at Southampton Solent University on time and budget. Aaron co-leads PACT’s growth and delivery, working with university partners to shape strategy, define roadmaps and deliver change that sticks. He provides programme leadership, governance and delivery assurance across the portfolio, keeping teams aligned on outcomes, risk and quality. He takes a data-led approach to decisions, using insight to prioritise, measure benefits and continuously improve. He oversees budgeting, forecasting and resource planning, and acts as senior account lead, building trusted, long-term relationships with partners and suppliers.
Based in Bristol, Aaron is happiest when active – football, running, training, mountaineering, skiing. He previously coached the University of Bristol Women’s team and still coaches youth football.
Personally, Aaron is driven by a simple purpose: to serve others. That means listening first, acting with integrity, and delivering change that genuinely improves life for those he interacts with.
