Sir Francis Maude and the team he had around him untill about 2016.

I don't have the links to hand but there was some really great thinking going into what it meant to provide government services online at the time.

Unfortunately when he and the original team left and more people joined GDS / departments started to develop their own services a lot of direction and momentum was lost.

There used to be a twitter account @govdigirati that was great at satirising GDS after around 2017

Unfortunately GDS is now mostly toothless in all honesty
