Dan Avery Email and Phone Number
I love technology! I was that kid who stayed after school playing around with computers, embracing the early days of the world wide web. Those early days sparked a fire within that's defined my career as an unashamed geek with a passion for all things digital! (I mean, how many people do you know enjoy collecting computer books from the past 50 years! #nerd)My career has seen me wear many different senior hats;๐ฉ As a product owner I've worn the business top hat, becoming the customer to truly understand and deliver their needs. I love supporting at all levels from c-suite management to getting down and dirty with project delivery teams; steering, supporting, mentoring and motivating (I have been known to write and perform a song to raise moral!)๐ช As a test manager I've worn the technical beret, breaking software (that's testing it to the non-tester). Nothing made me happier than taking a (metaphorical) hammer to a program, smashing it, turning it upside down, inside out, and then and only then would it get my seal of approval (disclaimer: no software was harmed in the making of innovation)๐งข As a project manager I've worn the flat cap, hands on wheeling and dealing to keep the plates spinning and deliver the goodsWhichever hat I wear, I'm always passionate about delivering 110%!Anyway, enough about hats, what are my key Jedi skills and qualities I bring to the table;โ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ: I build and support strong lasting relationships by inspiring trust, leading by example and ensuring the buck always stops with me.โ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด: I'm always on the lookout to solve the next problem! I once completed a #100DaysOfCode challenge learning Python to solve a data analysis problem!โ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Whether itโs painting a picture for a customer, delivering a (non-BS) story to the exec or talking technical with a developer, I juggle hats to fit the audience (dam I mentioned hats again!).โ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: I like working on my own but I love working in a team. We all go further together!โ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด: I've walked many paths and collated my own wiki of experiences in my career. It's the most rewarding feeling using this to help and guide others traversing their own journeys.โ ๐ง๐ฟ๐๐๐: Whatever I do, whoever I work with, I always earn peopleโs trust. Why? Because of all the above! Donโt believe me? Then please read my recommendations below.If youโve read this far, letโs connect!I also unofficially hold the world record for the number of brussels sprouts eaten in a minute!
