Des Lekerman | Board Director

I'm passionate about finding ways to help people work smarter and communicate better.

As Board Director, I help steer the company’s vision and future growth strategy in cloud transformation, identity, and cyber security.

With over 22 years’ experience in technology, in 2013 I led a management buyout and joined the company’s senior leadership team in overseeing its successful rebrand from The Internet Group to TiG Data Intelligence.

I’ve steered the company through three major acquisitions – including two financial services IT consultancies, MMR IT and netConsult, and leading Microsoft cyber security and identity specialist, ThirdSpace – significantly broadening the company’s client portfolio and strengthening its ability to offer award-winning services.

I’ve seen the company grow from a headcount of 35 to more than 250, with annual revenues of £34 million. We’re on course to more than double that in the next four to five years.

Most recently, I’ve headed up the company’s rebrand to Kocho – Japanese for butterfly – symbolising positive change and growth, and embodying its vision to help clients ‘Become greater’.
