I work with key players in the energy sector to help them navigate the increasing complexity of the Australian energy landscape.Key achievements & projects:• Managed a large project aimed to replace and modernize the core Energy Management System intended to introduce contemporary network operation capabilities. The new system will enable the safe and efficient operation of the transmission network with the increasing complexity introduced by renewable energy and decentralized generation and storage.• Leadership of a team of 40+ people that includes Accenture Onshore and Offshore resources, Vendor Engineering Team (onshore and offshore), and local client subject matter experts.• Regular engagement with senior project stakeholders reporting on project progress and providing recommendation on key project decisions and escalations.

In my period at Schneider Electric, I became a key contributor to the success of the project delivery in the region. In that scenario I started working with key clients in the region and became their trusted advisor, leading projects, technology road mapping, OT upgrades and OT & IT integration initiatives.Key achievements & projects:• Effectively led and upskilled the project delivery team to support double digit revenue growth in the region for the past 2 years and best in class project financial performance for the first semester of 2022.• Managed one of the largest hardware & technology transition projects in the region to date. The project was delivered to a live operating 250-bed hospital on time and 5% under budget.• Worked closely with a multi-campus university to create a technology roadmap and OT upgrade strategic plan that generated a 3-year program of works to deliver hardware upgrades and server infrastructure virtualization. • Effectively managed a hardware & software upgrade project in a live/occupied government site with strict project constraints and program of works. The successful delivery of the first project enabled Schneider Electric to secure two additional similar projects with the same client in their other buildings, displacing Schneider Electric’s competition.• Enabled and led digital/remote project delivery within the region leveraging on cross-training and collaborative approach, which allowed business continuity during the pandemic. The initiative successfully shifted project revenue generation from heavily revenue impacted clients (e.g.: retail, commercial buildings) to high-demand (healthcare, infra-structure, government) clients.• Supported the sales development team in understanding technical challenges and proposing added value solutions aligned with client's goals. The interaction with sales generated approximately USD 1M/year pull through work with one of the key clients in the region.
