I am an IT professional with over 20 years experience of delivering solutions in the Retail sector. Skilled and dynamic, I am a leader who builds and inspires great teams to deliver high quality change. I always provide strong stakeholder management ensuring there are no surprises. I understand the need for clear and timely communication to all affected parties – up, down and sideways. As a highly skilled communicator, I am known for my ability to articulate a clear vision and explain complex ideas simply, as happy one-to-one or in front of a large audience. IT is now critical to the success of any retailer and it is vitally important to stay abreast of new technologies to ensure IT is a strategic advantage; this is a passion of mine. I create an environment that encourages the generation of ideas: ideas to find creative solutions; ideas to develop strategy and ideas to drive out the very best solutions.
