His care and passion for the team and the business often catch in his throat as the business really is his extended family.

It was Craig’s passion for putting technology to work to solve complex issues that led to the creation of our Digital Innovation Division, Synaptek.

Since joining Spherica back in 2018, Craig has put his talent for finding new and innovative ways to fix process pain points, and is now steering our innovation roadmap as Head of Innovation.
