Nicholas Roussel-Milner
Over the last twenty years, I have held a number of senior roles working at a strategic level running multifunctional IT environments in the delivery of technology-based services. In Investors in People UK (IIPUK) I was the Head of Information working in the Marketing and Communications Department to support and promote the IIP standard using digital technologies. In the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) I was a Chief Information Officer establishing business intelligence and information management approaches to underpin the delivery of the Building Schools for Future (BSF) Programme and I finished my time with Northamptonshire Police as the Head of Information Services being accountable for managing IT enabled business change and transformation for the Force.
I am passionate about authentic digital transformation, using technology to create efficiencies and deliver value to students and staff. I am committed to using digital technology to create innovative, safe, accessible, and inclusive digital environments for teaching, learning, research and working.
In my current role as Chief Information Officer at Buckinghamshire New University, I am responsible for ensuring that information and technology is used effectively in an innovative, compliant and secure way to help the University achieve its strategic aims and drive the performance of the institution. To these ends, I provide strategic leadership and direction for the University’s integrated information, technology, digital and technical services to support the provision of: excellent student and staff experience; high quality learning and teaching; innovation and business engagement; and operational efficiencies.
Nicholas became a member of the University Strategy Group in February 2025.
