About Stewart D.

Stewart D. is a Senior leader with experience across industries and sizes of business - focussed on delivering value through change and IT programme delivery, innovation and the full remit of IT services . at Protiviti UK. Colleagues describe him as "In my experience, Stewart genuinely understands the role customers have on influencing company success; irrespective of whether they are internal or external. Stewart's customer-focused, holistic view of technology enablement always has business value at its core, which he then translates into investment in innovative systems of engagement. Stewart is an advocate for innovation and considered change, ensuring that the appropriate business transformation is a combination of people, process and technology, and not just technology alone. His ability to articulate business problems in a relatable manner is supported by his extensive knowledge and experience. Because of this, he is skilled at widening stakeholders' understanding of all dependencies and potential outcomes, not just ones under immediate consideration. Stewart is engaging, mindful, and inclusive. Stakeholders quickly learn that he is a steadfast and valuable ally who always acts with integrity and honesty. He is a colleague I recommend without hesitation and in whom I hold the highest regard and respect.", "Stewart is someone I have a lot of respect for. Always straight, pragmatic, professional and in my experience very capable. While technology moves at pace, Stewart is always curious. Keen to understand, keen to learn - these are traits that will continue to serve him well. I have always enjoyed my meetings and discussions with Stewart. He is very personable, definitely a people person and a strong leader in his own right. I have no doubt at all, that Stewart will continue to add huge value in any role he takes on, and that there is a lot more to come from him in the months and years to follow.", and "As MD of the supplier, I worked as Stewart’s counterparty in the project to install Electronic Shelf Labels across Scotmid’s entire retail estate. This was a ground-breaking project for the UK Grocery Retail sector, where we were able to demonstrate how collaborative working between suppliers and customers can achieve great things. This was in no small part down to Stewart’s leadership and attitude towards the project on the Scotmid side. I found Stewart to be an intelligent, determined and positive project sponsor, who was certainly willing and able to challenge in order to get the best out of us as a supplier. However he also demonstrated a strong sense of fairness, reasonableness, and perspective – this allowed us to be open with him about the project and in turn this allowed both sides to work in a truly collaborative way in order to overcome any issues – to the benefit of the project as a whole, and Scotmid."
