John Le Drew

John is the founder and principal consultant at Rainbow Laces. He has spent most of the last 2 decades working in the software industry. After 10 years as a software engineer he moved into consultancy where he quickly learnt the value of team dynamics and how most technical challenges are projecting underlying issues with collaboration. So, his focus shifted, primarily on facilitating safe, creative, collaborative environments for his clients. As well as his consultancy work, John is a DJ and producer and through this work founded the The Techno Festival, online charity music festival that has now, after three events in 8 months raised over $35,000 for charity. He lives in Manchester (UK) with his two boys and cat. He loves experimental cookery, photographing things that others don’t notice, getting lost in cities he doesn’t know and travelling to places he has never been to.
