I am a sharp, adaptable, innovative, quick-witted and 'out-of-the-box' thinker, with strong self confidence and a clear-cut idea of who I am and what I want in my career and personal life. When confronted by obstacles, I am analytical and determined: enjoying trouble-shooting problems to obtain a positive and creative solution, for the benefit of all.As such, I have since a young age been keenly interested in technology and in people - and been unafraid to push the boundaries with both, in order to find out what I need to know or achieve a requisite business or personal goal. This self-confidence is however counter-balanced by an equally strong sense of humility, never forgetting my own farming family background or the value of strong interpersonal relationships and hard work. I am also a very 'hands-on' personality type who relishes having 'skin in the game' and remaining at the cutting-edge of technology trends and business developments - as opposed to rusting away behind a title and a desk ! With some 26 years 'experience spanning diverse technical and management roles - both in an entrepreneurial and corporate context - I also possess tried and tested leadership capabilities, emotional intelligence and a bullet-proof sense of humour! I furthermore enjoy the challenge of change. Although many make this claim, I do not do so idly, having in the course of my career demonstrably capitalised on every major technology change since the inception of the Internet and Internet Service Provider (ISP)technology, all the way through to social media for business, telecommunications / IT convergence and the Blockchain. In so doing, I have harnessed my characteristic passion for challenge and change in order to successfully drive change management initiatives throughout my career, and have also lived and managed teams both locally and in sub-Saharan Africa.
