Edward Cross
Freelance Technology Consultant
I have eight years experience working in a strategic infrastructure and economic development role for the public sector. I have worked on several large multi-partner projects involving a variety of public and private sector stakeholders, each focused on delivering better digital connectivity.
I have in-depth knowledge of national broadband, digital infrastructure and skills policy. I have also overseen several State Aid applications for broadband and mobile infrastructure and have technically assured several large-scale public sector procurements, carrying out early market engagement activities, and project managing several Open Market Reviews.
As well as my public sector background, I have in-depth technical knowledge and excellent data and analysis skills, being competent in several coding languages. This includes expert knowledge of interactive mapping, GIS and various Cloud platforms and APIs.
I have an MSc in Sustainable Development and Climate Change from the University of Exeter and a BSc Hons in Geography from the University of Southampton.
