I am a CIO/CTO and IT strategy executive with a substantial skill in successfully transforming struggling businesses to get the most out of IT as well as completing US$multi-million global IT projects across renowned corporations primarily in business services and retail.

I prepare and deliver new and turn around failing - very large and complex programs, managing cross-functional, multi-site teams. I manage highly complex, business-critical IT portfolio assignments – streamlining, vendor rationalisation, consolidation of multiple entry points, End User-driven Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning.

I have a demonstrated record of significant P&L achievements: USD$8M negotiated contract; USD$1.5M P&L benefit; savings generated of USD$500K

APM, MCSE and ITIL-certified, I am highly skilled in:
• ensuring:
o clients and internal partners are directly involved in establishing the vision of the project to ensure it is led, managed and championed
o the intended message is understood and the desired response achieved by consulting early and often with all internal and external partners
• managing risk by compromising across all stakeholders' diverging priorities, understanding the risk they may pose to the projects if divergent priorities are not managed
• relationship-building, having developed long-term working relationships with colleagues at all levels within matrix organizations
• planning and organising, consolidating actions and hit milestones as a result of managing effectively plans, risks/issues and competing priorities
• understanding, road mapping, delegating and coaching on program requirements reaching across 55,000 employees
• project soft / hard skills: client expectation management, project direction

I have expertise in delivering high quality global IT portfolio analysis by eliciting, creating, reviewing and editing requirements, specifications, business processes and recommendations
