An accomplished Executive who has extensive experience in financial, IT and people management, combined with a track record in leading, developing and working with senior professionals in multi-disciplinary teams. I frequently need to ensure that both effective team working and the desired outcome are achieved.I have developed a communication style that I would describe as “diplomatically assertive”, combined with strong analytical skills which have enabled me to cut through to the central issue in any discussion and lay out choices for others present to consider. This has been invaluable when identifying service requirements with users, developing plans and strategies with stakeholders, lobbying/negotiating for funding and implementing tasks with staff. In addition, my knowledge of technology has been instrumental in my professional life in providing electronic access for users to information services.I would describe myself as an enthusiastic person who thrives on a fresh challenge. I have a proven leadership ability that allows me to draw out from people their skills and attributes, in order that I can motivate them to achieve their very best. I have created within my current role an open environment for sharing ideas, mentoring staff and promoting a vision, in order that organizational goals are accomplished.
