    Service Manager
    Computacenter Oct 2011 - May 2012
    Uk Wide
    A secondment to our T&T team (Transition and Transformation). During this time I worked on the service implementation to a new global customer AstraZeneca; working in a consultative capacity to ensure that our 4 global service desks transitioned smoothly into business as usual. I worked closely with each of our desk managers in Dallas, Wilmington, Barcelona and Kualar Lumpur to provide them with direction and coaching on delivering our best practices. One of my key achievements in this role was setting up a Triage Function for the Service Desks in under 3 weeks. The team was required to provide an additional safety blanket for the customer and service desks, due to lack of configuration in the customer’s new Incident management tool.
  • Computacenter
    Service Manager
    Computacenter May 2010 - Oct 2011
    Uk Wide
    In our Group Service Desk (GSD) I had a portfolio of 20+ customers, which equated to around 150 analysts and a management team of 25, which spanned over 15 service desks. My role was to work proactively with our onsite service managers and GSD Delivery Managers to ensure that we were continually evolving our services and meeting the needs of our customers. Having this holistic view, I could work with our Delivery Managers to ensure that where innovation and service improvements were implemented on one desk, we could drive this across others. My key achievement in this role was the successful delivery of xMatters, an intelligent communication engine that Computacenter invested in to proactively improve our end to end ticket management across all our customers.
  • Computacenter
    Infrastructure Service Manager
    Computacenter May 2008 - Aug 2010
    Uk Wide
    In this role I decided to take a career change and develop my skills in the infrastructure Services side of Computacenter’s business. I managed two virtual teams; Messaging and Wintel, located in 3 of our centres of excellence in the UK. My key achievement here was setting up a Triage Function within Wintel to support our Service Desks, by providing them with valuable feedback to improve first contact resolution and to ensure that end to end ticket management was efficient and we achieved end to end SLAs. By working with our Service Desks to improve first contact resolution at first line, we were able to save money, improve efficiency, increase customer satisfaction and take on additional customers into Infrastructure Services without increasing head count.
  • Computacenter
    Service Desk Delivery Manager
    Computacenter May 2002 - Apr 2008
    Milton Keynes
    During the 6 years in this role I managed several different service desks, which ranged from multiple to single customer service desks. I proactively became involved in a number of forums and activities involving staff development across our Group Service Desk. I mentored 3 Team Leaders and coached each of them into becoming Delivery Managers. I have managed several successful service desk implementations during this period; one particular achievement was transition 3 on-site customer service desks for Abbey National into one remote service desk managed by Computacenter. For this accomplishment I received a company ‘Gold Award’. In this role I had direct accountability for the service desk cost centres.
  • Computacenter
    On-Site Operations Manager (Service Desk)
    Computacenter Jul 1998 - Apr 2002
    Marylebone, London
    The Service Desk I managed in this role was based on one of the trade floors for BNP Paribas in London. This was an incredibly demanding environment, with challenging SLAs to achieve. In this role I took the desk from performing at a reasonable level to excelling in their KPIs within 4 months. The customer requested my involvement in the decision making process for their Incident Management tool. I then became pivotal in the implementation of the chosen tool (Remedy) and a new ACD system. I submitted a proposal to the customer on how I could improve first contact resolution at the Service Desk, by increasing the remote capabilities for the Service Desk and encouraging shift left from the 2nd line teams. This was approved by the customer and within 3 months first contact resolution was improved by 18%. For my achievements I received a company ‘Gold Award’
