I deliver reliable and professional outcomes across a wide range of IT and business areas, and generally available for part time contract work via ARCADA Solutions Ltd (Business, IT, Projects) and via Jungle Strategy Ltd (Business Innovation). I split my remaining available time across two other ventures - start-up Brightminds Ltd (delivering "Insights for Projects") and an e-commerce company not listed here.I’ve spent a couple of decades as an independent Business & IT consultant, managing established and evolving products and services, and the people that deliver them. This also includes managing projects and programs of work. But I can also think outside the box, understand what is possible, re-imagine what could be achieved in your business, dream the future, and then turn the dream into tangible outcomes. My background encompasses hands on direct management of business process transformation, software product development, infrastructure, operations, communications, ISO27001 security, commercial governance, P3M, service delivery, and customer experience. More recently I've acquired and use on a daily basis the skills of retail product research, design, supply chain management, logistics, and online marketing.I hold a Master of Commercialisation and Entrepreneurship (MCE) - The University of Auckland, with life membership to Beta Gamma Sigma.
