I’ve worked for large international businesses for more than 25 years, helping them to improve the way they work by delivering large scale business change programmes; innovative and robust IT solutions; and reorganizing and transforming their IT teams. I’m currently working as an Independent Management Consultant advising PLC, Public Sector and PE Clients on a range of assignments from strategic review to operational delivery of IT. Throughout my career, as well as delivering the basics in terms of infrastructure, desktop services and ERP’s, I’ve brought to many businesses more agile, commercially focused and cost effective ways of working through outsourcing, partnering, service delivery and agile application development. I’ve built a strong track record delivering these improvements across multiple sectors – FMCG, B2B Services, Construction, Travel and in the Public Sector in Senior Management, Board Level and Consulting roles. In recent assignments I’ve used cloud, mobile and big data technologies to promote comprehensive and easy to use customer engagement services and channel these into improved revenue, profitability and satisfaction ratings; and simultaneously make major improvements in operational service delivery.
