Terry Willis
Director of Technology
Church of England

Terry Willis is a Technology and Cyber Leader who transforms IT departments like a magician with a hard hat—turning chaos into coordinated, streamlined tech ecosystems. Known for his “pragmatic approach,” Terry doesn’t just manage risk; he wrestles it into submission while keeping the board and budget smiling. From the Church of England to leading interim roles across financial services, media, and, most recently, Government, Terry is the kind of person you call when your IT Operations need a shakeup or a rescue mission.

But Terry’s expertise doesn’t end at fireproofing tech systems and saving money (millions, no less). He’s also a mentor, certified Mental Health First Aider, and a judge for the UK’s top IT awards, like this one. In his free time, when he isn’t out securing the cyber fort, you’ll find him unwinding with rugby (watching, not playing—no risk there) and a bit of music and theatre.
