Following a successful and enjoyable 17 years with Serco Asia Pacific, it is now time to move on and look for the next career opportunity. Having worked in numerous roles across the organisation during this period allowed me to interact with many high performing and dedicated individuals across Serco - they were and are, in abundance. Together we identified, pursued and converted many highly important contracts, with a total value exceeding $10b, culminating in the delivery of essential public services on behalf of governments across Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Delivering a broad range of services in such diverse sectors as health, defence, justice and immigration, transport and citizen services requires a talented and dedicated team of some 14,000 staff across the region. I wish my former colleagues, including friends at Serco, all the very best as they continue to deliver high-quality services to government clients and in doing so, assist Serco in impacting a better future.As I explore the next chapter of my journey, I am seeking a role which leverages my skills and experience in senior level operational management, strategic business development, bid team leadership and commercial contract negotiations.Please contact me via LinkedIn messenger or alternatively via email: garrycbrown1@gmail.com
