Adam Nicholson

Director of Technology @ OPIA

👋 Hi there, I'm Adam, a technology leader from North East England, with over 15 years experience in the tech industry.

Currently serving as the driving force behind technology at OPIA, I lead a remarkable team of engineers and creatives who design and build everything we do, including our best-in-class Opia Cloud platform, tailor-made client solutions, internal systems, and the comprehensive infrastructure required to support a thriving business with over 200 employees and millions of customers.

While my roots lie in software engineering, my career journey has allowed me to become an authority in many tech domains, such as data/BI, cloud computing, infrastructure, business systems, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and more.

My passion is still software engineering, where I still love to get hands-on from time to time - usually getting involved when my teams need help solving the hardest problems. These days I spend the majority of my time in a leadership capacity where my job is to set a clear vision and strategy for the team, then empower, motivate, and support my talented team to deliver.

True to the techie stereotype, I've nurtured a collection of small side-projects over the years - which keeps my practical skills sharp - and I've been successful enough to have a few of them acquired along the way.
