With over 30 years of ICT Operational and Project Management experience across medium and large-scale organisations, I have a strong passion for driving both the long- and short-term success of an organisation through the intelligent use of Technology solutions and resources. Equally adept at managing IT infrastructure and governing large-scale project deployments, I have a flexible skill set and rich experience base to draw from. My ability to communicate effectively to a wide variety of audiences, from technical engineers through to key executive stakeholders, breeds successful outcomes in all the work I do.
