Managed software releases, configuration and systems integration across all environments.Recommendation from Dave Forster (Senior Project Manager at Boeing Defence UK)...As Environments Manager for a major Boeing ICT project Gary prosecuted his duties in a thoroughly professional manner. His understanding of the complex multiple-environment requirements and prosecution of tasking to time-critical milestones was a key factor in the success of the project. Moreover, with no direct reports, all the tasks he managed had to be carried out by matrix-managed resources and the fact that he consistently achieved his targets against a backdrop of other pan-programme priorities speaks volumes for his communication, management and leadership abilities. Gary is an excellent team worker and will be a positive edition to any team.
