I am a lateral thinker with Project Management experience, the ability to lead a team, encouraging them to work smarter and not harder. I have accuracy and attention to detail, while prioritizing and organizing multiple projects. This is what one former client had to say: "Punch is indebted to you ... for your dedication to servicing both us and our clients. On countless occasions you have saved meeting a deadline by working late at nights and weekends. We have always received more than our brief to you required and always on time".In my current position with Weldon Owen Publishing, both in Sydney and San Francisco over the last seven years, I have played a primary role in improving and updating the network and systems, and improving user satisfaction. An example of my success in this regard was achieved when I was responsible for automating the production of documents and cataloguing of artwork into a database, allowing for the automated creation of lists of artwork to be sent to the printer and the automated data entry of 75% of the information that was previously entered manually.I was most recently responsible for co-ordinating the relocation of the complete office for Weldon Owen, as well as the network and systems, stepping into this as the last minute when the project management consultant who was hired to do the job was not performing satisfactorily.Recognizing that being an effective IT professional involves more than working with machines, my efforts are focused on making things easier for users and strengthening my team’s relationship with our customers. When it comes to problem solving, I am quick to adopt the users’ perspective in order to define the human side of the IT equation. In summary, my work is rewarded when my customers are happy because I’ve made their work easier and less time intensive by meeting their needs through improved technology.Specialties: Publishing software training and support, purchasing,
