Strategic insights, leadership, and outcomes. I bring technical and non-technical stakeholders together to deliver impactful transformation. I partner with business leaders to define and drive the end to end transformation cycle from identifying opportunities, defining strategy, building business cases, and architecting solutions, through to implementing and managing ongoing service operations. I have provided leadership across the full suite of CIO accountabilities, with specific roles in strategy and architecture, cyber and information security, business ICT planning, project management, ICT governance, information management, stakeholder engagement, policy development, budget and portfolio management, application development and support, and network and desktop infrastructure support. An inquisitive learner, I am highly adaptable, and rapidly develop deep expertise in new subject areas. My career success has been built around my personal “super-powers” of creating pragmatic and implementable strategies, plans, and solutions and providing reliable, trusted, pragmatic, and actionable advice and direction to management, projects, and technical teams. I combine a calm, thoughtful, and respectful personality with a discerning, questioning, visionary, and focused approach to deliver both strategic and decisive leadership. Professionally qualified in project management, I have successfully delivered many projects across information, technology and security domains, and have led teams of up to 100 people plus service providers and both local and multinational IT suppliers. I am experienced at engaging at all levels including field and front-line delivery staff, CEOs, executive leaders, political representatives, vendors, and industry partners and can comfortably bridge the gap that often exists between ICT and non-ICT business leaders. I am passionate about the well-being and development of my teams. Knowing that people deliver the best of themselves in a supportive and challenging environment, I build customer focused, high performing, low turnover teams by providing focus, clear direction, and an environment supporting continuous improvement and personal growth. This results in teams with a strong purpose, loyalty, high achievement and high professional satisfaction. As well as seeking continual improvement in my services, I am adept at maintaining smooth and reliable "business-as-usual" operations and with dealing with crises when required. My skills have been honed in 24x7 safety critical and highly complex enterprise environments.
Listed skills include Governance, Enterprise Architecture, It Strategy, Strategy, and 40 others.
