I have over 25 yrs experience in the IT industry and pride myself in understanding the business benefits an organisation can realise by implementing relevant and integrated technologies, and then delivering the competitive advantages these can yield. I have implemented complete new IT Infrastructures into Greenfield sites, whilst appreciating how the adoption of Unified Communication & Collaboration technologies can streamline and enhance business processes, improve social capital, and encourage collaboration with strategic partners.My appreciation of how Microsoft's suite of Unified Collaboration and Communication platforms, specifically Skype for Business and Teams, impacts positively on business processes and productivity, enables me to work effectively as a trusted advisor to our global customers and assist them in delivering against defined roadmaps and strategies in an ever changing and complex environment.My peers consider me to be a natural and enthusiastic speaker, having presented at numerous Microsoft events, and delivered a number of seminars at UCExpo and other UC Technology vendor presentationsI am also the author of 'Microsoft Lync 2013 Plain and Simple'Specialties: Skype for Business, Teams, Strategy, Operational Planning, Business Intelligence, Unified Communications, Business Continuity, Agile Working Performance Management, ITIL, Public Speaking, Author
