Utilising Prince 2 project management techniques, I oversaw the implementation of an ERP system at various sites throughout EMEA for this global business. Having moved from a senior IT position, I was able to leverage my strong technical insight, combined with first-class prioritisation skills and an analytical mindset, to lead projects from cost-benefit analysis to application development and complete integration. I consistently displayed a strong level of flexibility, both with respect to the technology side and the need to adapt to working cultures in various countries, communicating extensively with internal management.
