A Team oriented IT Manager and consultant with over 25 years of experience in the business, technical and operational aspects of Information Technology.Over the years I have built up significant experience in delivering IT projects and managing IT teams for established and start-up businesses across a range of domestic and international business sectors.I'm a pragmatic, delivery and business minded individual, well versed in helping businesses with reducing their operational costs and extending the life of existing IT systems.I've worn many hats during my IT career, analyst, programmer, consultant, systems architect, manager and strategist, I even used to be a commercial diver in the dim and distant past. I like to think that I have a unique ability to deliver difficult projects and navigate complex challenges.Having said all that actual experience has taught me that my professional value comes down to the following;- I'm technically astute and have been helping businesses safely use technology since before the web was born.- I speak fluent geek, architect, manager, business developer, consultant and difficult client. To me understanding means fewer misunderstandings because misunderstandings cost time and money.- I don't mind who gets the credit, I just want the project delivered successfully.- Delivery is what matters and I do delivery.- I really do love a challenge, the more difficult the better.- People tell me that I'm the calm one in a crisis.I enjoy what I do for a living and like making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you need my help, want to talk technology, business opportunities or just motorcycles.
