Gary Myburgh
Summary
I am a professional, polished, and driven individual with a positive attitude who enjoys working in a dynamic environment, supporting people, and fostering cultural growth.
My interpersonal people skills are open, and I adopt a listening-to-understand principle when engaging with peers and broader cohorts. I enjoy cross functional team contribution, and find value in being part of a team.
I pride myself on skilful and concise communication, and effectively utilise communication is as key component to success, and driving better project and interpersonal outcomes. My overall efficacy is performing to the highest standard and delivering outcomes beyond expectation; I achieve this through rationalisation and perseverance.
My track record is in technology and delivering clear, defined outcomes. My ability to adapt, align and respond to situations is strong, and my resolve to always put my best work forward means I am a strong team member. I am confident in working effectively with my peers and understand the impacts of psycap, especially when working under pressure or fulfilling deadlines.
I have demonstrable skills in MIS, program management, project design alignment and delivery, finance (high level of numeracy) and communications. These skills allow me to align multi-facets of any program of work into tangible business outcomes, with clear boundaries established between organisational goals and operational tasks. These attributes are supported by my expertise in Togaf, Prince2, Agile and PMBOK and my Masters In Business Administration (leading change in Health).

Work History

Just Black AI
10.2023 - Current
- Application interoperability, data warehouse, data lakes, Large Language Models (LLM), and the pursuit of generative AI drive this newly established business
- The complexities associated with multi-domain integration or greenfield deployments require a broader aperture and deeper insight when compared to traditional single-domain platform programs of work
