Gordy Wills

As a Computer Science graduate of Warwick University, Gordy, spent his young adult years in military service as a Royal Signals officer.  After having visited various of the worlds deserts on combat operations as well as having spent time in procurement and strategic telecommunications he got married and demobilised.  On leaving the service, quite by accident, he spent a few years being an assistant producer for film and TV.  Eventually finding his way back to his first love - computer science - he became a software engineer and quickly a team lead.  This introduced him to the world of Agile thinking.  The approach suits his personality, focusing on getting high quality to the user as fast as is practicable.  As an Agile Coach and Head of Engineering he successfully transformed several development departments in to high performing engineering teams.  With his focus now on how IGS fits in with the wider factory eco systems, he is developing integrations between our products and business and manufacturing systems. When he is not gathered round a scrum board (either at work or at home), you will find him; by day hiking the trails of Scotland remembering his 1250 mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022; and by night absorbed into the beauty of the night sky practising amateur planetary astronomy.  He is also a volunteer for the international disaster response charity RE:ACT, supporting corporate and operational IT as well as deploying when the need arises.  He lives in Cramond with his wife amongst the beauty of the Forth river and in view of the hills of Fife.
