Summary
I am an IT Project Manager, Business Analyst and Consultant with 23 years’ experience in private and public sector organisations on 4 continents.
As an experienced IT professional, I am able to combine high level IT skills and knowledge with an ability to relate to people at all levels and explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical people in an easily understandable way.
Formally-trained in project management, software development, business analysis and people management, I have been applying the theory for many years and passing my knowledge on by training others.
I am experienced in strategy development, business analysis, meeting facilitation, training course delivery and presentations.
Being a natural bridge-builder and team-worker, I am able to quickly establish and maintain a rapport with individuals or groups at all organisational levels, and over distance.
If you're struggling with a technology-related issue in your business, why not give me call and we can discuss the best way of approaching a solution - it doesn't cost anything to talk! (I'll supply the coffee) ;-) Contact me on 0750 384 2663 or [email protected].
