Daniel Cook Email & Phone Number

Daniel Cook is a Systems Architect at Cisco. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Dan for four years whilst he was at Turning Point, where initially he occupied a senior networking position and was later promoted to Head of IT. Dan is highly competent and is a subject matter expert as well as a good manager of people. He demonstrated determination and tenacity and achieved outstanding results. He is dedicated, hard working and reliable. I wish Dan every success for the future." and "I first met Dan at monthly regional meeting of NHS Active Directory and Network SMEs and immediately found he stood out amongst the assembled body. It was evident that he had a strong belief in excellence and was determined to ensure this was what was provided. If he spotted an item that fell short on quality he made a point of discussing this - constructively, always providing excellent insight and often offering points of relevant reference/experience. His own technical acumen enables him to understand the most complex of technical scenarios and to discuss them in great detail. But his most remarkable quality is his ability to illustrate complex technical relationships on a whiteboard or a piece of paper. He is able to do this in great detail at speed whilst providing an in depth commentary enabling even none technical people to grasp complicated and in depth technical concepts - he really stands out here. He has been tasked with big network jobs in hospital environments in the past and this has helped him develop a very keen eye for spotting potential risk, enabling him to ensure any service outages particularly in critical environments are avoided. He has been entrusted with substantial budgets to enable him to overhaul infrastructure within these critical environments and he has duly completed these tasks planning, authorising spend, ensuring efficient and outstanding delivery. When it comes to spend he has his finger on the pulse where market value is concerned and I do not believe he would ever be guilty of unnecessary expenditure such is his determination to provide value for money. Finally, he is a strong team lead that is liked and trusted by his people whom he actively encourages and supports to learn, develop and strive for excellence themselves. "
