Derek Brinkley

(at KEGS 1965-1968) writing in 2019

After leaving KEGS and joining Post Office Telephones I went on to hold a range of senior roles in the Telecommunications industry for BT, including Country MD in South East Asia where I lived for seven years, Regional Director for the Nordics, living in Stockholm for four years, Non-Executive Director of BT’s European Joint Ventures, Global Procurement Director and Board member for BT-Mahindra software House in India. I obtained a degree in Mathematics and an Executive MBA from INSEAD’s Euro-Asia Centre in France. Since leaving BT in 2008, I provided independent ICT consultancy services to international clients in Asia and led a grant funded Med-tech start up in Cambridge. Currently I am providing consulting services to a Quantum Cryptography company. My two passions are golf and contract bridge.
