Dominic Barnsley

As CIO, Dom Barnsley heads up Product Development at CriticalArc, and specializes in using lean process to cautiously scale product delivery with a tight focus on quality and automation, favoring a data driven, forensic approach to continuous improvement. He has 25 years of experience delivering solutions in banking, assurance, compliance and health and several years of software product delivery to the Higher Education sector. After studying Astrophysics at University of Durham and a BSC in Computer Science at University of Wales, Dom started out as a software developer. However, he soon realised he had a greater passion for how software could be better delivered than for actually building it himself. He subsequently held a variety of technology roles including dev-ops engineer, software quality manager, product manager, global development manager and CTO. During that time he has managed 17 development teams across more than 60 software products.

Dom is extremely excited to be working with CriticalArc services that make a substantive impact on thousands of lives. He thrives on the challenge of finding creative ways to meet multiple tangential customer requirements with flexible solutions that put the user experience front and centre. A proud father of five, Dom enjoys spending time with family and has also perused diverse interests such as woodworking, piano, gardening, running half marathons, sailing and flying Cessnas.
