CNS Treasury was spun out of an FX broker (Tuatara) who wanted to get into the software space. They focused on currency risk management solutions on a SaaS platform. I joined to turn the idea of an system to a reality. Within 1 year we had built a sellable product and in the next 3 years we became the number 1 system in the NZ market, had landed a Fortune 500 company on a global deal and presented our solution to Microsoft in their headquarters in Redmond, U.S.A.Personal Achievements: From system design, testing, sales and deployment, this was an all-in role typical of a NZ start up organisation. Key skills & achievements* Captured each business process within software design and then reflected those ideas within specifications (business and technical)* Developed an Agile Development methodology for CNS* Implemented test plans and issued tracking software* Built a customer base from scratch. The key challenge to be successful, was we had to sell our own credibility and a good product. What was the most satisfying? Taking an idea and turning it into a commercially viable and ultimately successful product.

This was my first introduction to working for a software company. I designed software solutions that met the requirements of our clients, for example Barclays Capital and Standard Chartered Bank, whilst working within the restraints of the system itself. This role required close interaction with clients, through the design phase and eventual implementation. This role also enabled me to interact with product side of the business, getting a strong understanding of building scaleable software.I left here to go back to London where I worked with Barclays Capital as a Project Manager for 2 years before returning to NZ.

I chose to work with Coopers & Lybrand after meeting with the partner I was going to work with. I liked him, he was smart and I knew I could learn a lot from him. My responsibilities were running an audit team of 6, delivering audit results on time and within budget. Worked on organisations such as Telecom, Steel & Tube and ACC. Ranked equal top in my year's intake - because I was able to work well with the team and clearly communicate the audit issues for partner review.
