I’m Paul Cannon, and my career has been built around enterprise technology, automation, and strategic delivery. Over the years, I’ve helped organisations across both the public and private sector turn their ambitions into measurable results.
What drives me is the challenge of taking complex business and technology issues and making them simple, practical, and effective. I believe transformation should never just be about technology for technology’s sake. It should create real value for the organisation, its people, and its customers.
I’ve spent decades working at the front line of technology change. Many businesses I’ve worked with were struggling with outdated manual processes, siloed systems, or legacy infrastructure that slowed them down. My role has been to help them move to smarter, scalable systems that improve efficiency, reduce risk, and prepare them for the future.
My expertise spans:
Enterprise workflow transformation – modernising processes and eliminating bottlenecks
AI adoption strategies – bringing machine learning and automation into day-to-day operations
Cloud migration programmes – moving critical business systems securely and efficiently
Operational efficiency – ensuring that change delivers cost savings and productivity improvements
By combining a strong understanding of business drivers with a clear view of what technology can deliver, I design solutions that are both effective and sustainable.
Colleagues often describe me as someone who brings clarity to difficult situations. I focus on aligning people, processes, and technology so that change feels joined-up and achievable.
For me, transformation should improve working life as well as business performance. That means:
Cutting through the noise and focusing on what really matters
Translating strategy into practical steps teams can follow
Building programmes that motivate people and encourage adoption
Ensuring systems deliver ongoing value beyond the initial rollout
I believe technology must serve the business, not the other way round. That’s why I work side by side with teams to design automation strategies that make sense in real-world practice, not just on paper.
At askelie, my role as Sales Director is to help clients unlock the potential of AI-driven automation. Working with our platform, I support organisations in:
Reducing manual effort through intelligent document processing
Strengthening compliance and governance with smarter workflows
Improving decision-making with AI insights
Scaling operations without adding unnecessary cost or complexity
Every transformation programme I support is about delivering measurable outcomes. Whether that’s faster invoice processing for a local authority, streamlined contract management for a university, or improved operational resilience for a private sector client, the goal is always the same: to make technology work for people and drive growth.
I remain passionate about helping businesses adopt technology in a way that works for them. The pace of innovation in AI and automation means there’s always a new challenge to solve. For me, the real opportunity is not in the technology itself but in how we apply it to make organisations smarter, more resilient, and better equipped for the future.
