Software Lancaster Talks with Joseph Darkins - CEO of Burnley Football Club
Details
Join us for our second Software Lancaster Talk on 7th April 2026 at 6pm at the Fraser House Hub in Lancaster.
Joseph Darkins is Chief Technology Officer of Burnley Football Club, where he leads technology strategy, product development, and digital transformation. He previously spent 15+ years building and leading technology at companies including Thomson Reuters, Markit, IG, RateSetter, JLL, and Fonix.
Joseph’s talk explores a biological metaphor for modern organisations, using a football club as an example. He describes an “organisational nervous system” in which data pipelines act as senses and AI agents respond using a shared memory of company goals and values, aligning AI with strategy rather than simply automating tasks.
