Client base is wide and varied and includes both private and commercial clients such as Oxfam, MacMillan, Holtzbrink, Microsoft, The World Heritage Fund, Heinemann, Wacom as well as many smaller SMEs.
Previous roles have involved both technical and strategic business roles, including pan European and gloobal activities and programs. These roles principally supported and helped organisations and businesses to develop IT, IS and Business strategies in line with key business goals and drivers. The roles were varied and interesting with their main focus working at board level within organisations supporting the senior execs and BDMs to develop and execute strategic engagements between partners and global businesses and their customers. These roles encompassed requirements for a broad set of skills that cover business strategy development, business solutions analysis, technology evangelism and programs development and management.
I am aware of the need to integrate and apply my strategic thinking and leadership skills to accommodate both business and commercial requirements, being able to deal ambiguity and challenging organizational situations whilst still helping to develop win-win scenarios for customer and partners alike. I have maintained up-to-date technology experience of all recent developments within digital media through a number of strong personal ties with many groups in Europe and the UK and continue to foster my relationships with academic, developer and technology communities in the UK and abroad.
Innovative committed and hardworking I possess excellent communication and business skills and maintain sound academic and industry ties as well as a business and commercially oriented outlook.
