.

Julian joined Vodafone in 1984 as a Marketing Executive in the UK and has held a number of senior posts including Chief Operating Officer. During his career with the company, he was closely involved in many of Vodafone's major transactions, including the formation of Vodafone AirTouch in 1999 as a result of the merger of the UK and U.S. businesses to create one of the top 25 companies in the world and the agreement to acquire Mannesmann in 2000, almost doubling the size of the Vodafone Group to make it the world's largest mobile telecommunications company. In 1996 he was appointed to the Vodafone Group Plc Board and in 2005 became Deputy Chief Executive, taking responsibility for global business development.

In 2004 he received a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to international telecommunications [cite web|url=http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page5947.asp|accessdate=2007-04-27|date=2004-06-11|title=PMS Honours Briefing - 11 June|publisher=10 Downing Street] .

In 2006 he joined the Sage Group Plc Board as non-executive Chairman and as a Director and later resigned on 27 April 2007 [cite news|url=http://www.reuters.com/article/technology-media-telco-SP/idUSWLB830420070427|title=Sage says chairman has resigned|publisher=Reuters|first=Mike|last=Elliott|date=2007-04-27|accessdate=2007-04-27] . A culture clash between Horn-Smith and the rest of the board was cited as the reason for his departure, which was reportedly by mutual consent.
