Chris Owen

Managing Director

Not as famous as the other Chris!!

The baby faced assassin of the PAM world (or so he thinks.) We've no idea if it's some kind of webcam filter or just a good skincare routine! Having worked in consulting, technical sales and product management for various well known global identity vendors, the only way forward for him was becoming the HR person, finance person, marketing person and office mascot

In all seriousness, this Chris has been involved in the identity space for around 20 years and has been lucky enough to travel the world, experience different cultures, build global teams, and best of all share his thoughts and knowledge about PAM. Some people say "he's seen more identity programs that he's had hot dinners." He says "Nah, I love hot dinners"

Chris Martin

Head of Advisory Services

One of the most famous names in the world has joined our organisation!! Unfortunately, Chris Martin is not as famous as the person you are thinking of. Our Chris says he is more famous because he has helped hundreds of customers over the years, had articles published in a few magazines and spoken at quite a few IAM conferences. (Obviously things like Glastonbury and the Super Bowl do not count).

Joking aside, having a famous alter ego has enabled Chris, over the last two decades, to understand and solve complicated Identity related issues (like how you prove who is the real Chris Martin). His artistry lies in being able to solve these with great clarity and communicate without unnecessary technical jargon or BS. Our Chris is available for anything Identity related but not for Karaoke, gigs or festivals

Farina Mackay

Head of Sales and Business Development

Finally, a woman's touch—bringing a new level of multitasking prowess to the team!
Farina Mackay, a powerhouse in sales and sales leadership, joins dotnext to build relationships and break new ground.
Her title, Head of Sales and Business Development, was debated for a while because, really—her talents are endless (she even helped write this intro!).

Farina hasn't just worked directly with clients in the PAM space; she has also successfully built and managed sales teams while leading from the heart. Fostering a positive work environment sits at the forefront of her beliefs because an empowered sales team is much more fun to work with. With her extensive audible library and training, no client has to fear a boring cold call from her or the team—helping clients stay ahead of the curve, finding the right solution for specific needs, and building long-term relationships is the name of her game! At home, Farina manages a house full of boys, honing her skills in maneuvering sports talk, mansplaining, and other stereotypical situations, making her the perfect addition to the core team of Chris, Chris, and not Chris.

Dave Owen

Head of Operations

The one who’s not called Chris but just happens to be related to one! Fresh to the IAM and PAM world and putting a different and logical view to all thing’s security. From a background of sales and management this is another stage in a long and varied career. A problem solver at heart, with a head for technology and a body that’s a temple for chocolate and Pepsi Max worship!

You know when, as a small child, you dream of your fantasy jobs? It’s amazing what you can achieve. Having Managed a record company, a TV & HiFi shop, worked in a guitar shop, sold sheepskin rugs, been a roadie and managed a tourist information office and now I get to work in the computer industry and call my son boss, he loves that!

Carlota (Lottie) Sabino

Identity & Access Management Consultant

Meet Lottie, your trusted expert in identity security with 7 years of experience helping public sector and corporate clients lock down privileged access. She’s mastered the art of building successful identity programs while keeping organisational change projects from turning into a never-ending saga. (Because let’s be honest, no one’s got time for a project that feels like it’s going on forever!)

As the youngest on the team (for now), Lottie embraces her “zillenial” status— too young for millennial stereotypes but just missed the Gen Z cut-off. This makes her the perfect translator for both worlds, unofficially guiding her older colleagues through pop culture references and the latest lingo.

Fluent in English and French, with Italian in the works, Lottie’s global perspective adds depth to her work. Outside of the office, she’s a Matcha enthusiast, a murder mystery documentary fan, and a devoted Swiftie. While she’s currently parenting herself, she’s saving up for a Doberman to join her in her adventures. Her love for exploring fits perfectly with her role at dotnext, where she can start at our HQ in Scotland and work her way down to the London office, meeting customers and prospects across the country. So, if you’re after a fresh perspective on identity security, with the added bonus of some Doberman chat, Lottie’s the one to catch up with!
