John Gibson Email & Phone Number

I am a versatile Technical Delivery Manager who enjoys working closely with clients and leading small to medium sized teams of technical professionals. I have experience delivering and supporting solutions hosted on Azure, AWS and Oracle public cloud environments and significant experience managing critical systems.Although I still enjoy getting my hands dirty working on new technologies, research cases, proof of concept testing and scripting, etc., I've learned that I can provide better value by guiding and mentoring others. At work or at play, there is no greater reward than associating with good people.
