A highly experienced, middle-leader who has recently transformed Computer Science results at GCSE (65% 9-4, from 44% ) and A Level (80% A-B and ALPS 1, from 38% A-C, ALPS 1) in 2 years. We are now the go-to school for A Level CS in the region.In my previous career (most recently working internationally as a senior executive) in the Technology and Services sector as a professional manager and consultant, I have successfully delivered organisational change, won large multi-million contracts and led large teams in the delivery of projects.I am skilled in commercial software development, technical architecture, education and assessment with a wealth of experience in consulting, contracting, application development, outsourcing and account management.I lead from the front and help people to follow my lead by instilling confidence. When commercial or technological prowess is required, I have the experience and knowledge to be able to see through the “fog” that hinders clarity in decision-making.When a “bridge” between people is missing, I will “build” with my team but mindfully; where a relationship is broken, I will sooth it with honesty, integrity and empathy; when a ball is “dropped”, I will pick it up and continue playing without fear; if the path ahead is unclear, I will clear it with dexterity and accuracy so that all may follow.I wholeheartedly trust my abilities, my instinct and my technical intuition because my invested skills are ever-present. When stakeholders hesitate or procrastinate it is often a sign that they’ve become personally uncomfortable; I encourage them to remain committed.I can confidently influence decision-makers in organisations to encourage them to engage with me on their initiatives and become a trusted advisor steadily building a successful network from within.I’ve taken risks in the past where a positive outcome wasn’t always assured; I’ve learned to take risks more objectively and based upon a balance of data and gut-instinct. My professional training coupled with my sporting achievements allow me to uniquely motivate people so that “the team” is everything.I have an exceptional level of understanding of young people in education and sport; their motivation, their aspirations and their emotional and behavioural development; I am a successful role-model who can help bring their dreams to life in a way that makes their journey both personal and inspiring.
