Full Biography

I am an analytical thinker who naturally gravitates towards innovation while ensuring the adherence to best practice management and steady, repeatable processes.

My ability to adapt to new environments and people enables me to quickly understand business and user requirements. Knowledge sharing and skills transfer are ideals that I strongly support and encourage. I share my knowledge through mentoring and documentation which helps to build stronger relationships with my co-workers.

With 20 years’ experience in the IT industry my aptitude for learning has ensured that I am constantly gaining new skills that extend beyond my job title.

My work experience has afforded me the opportunity to develop strong skills in Infrastructure and Technical support, Change Management, Configuration and Release Management, Technical project management, Solution Architecture, Vendor management and Leadership.

The experience and skills that I have developed over the years have helped to build my understanding of Business-IT Strategic alignment and my tertiary qualifications have provided me the necessary tools to deliver on this mandate.

I believe my unique combination of leadership abilities, technical skills, tertiary education and corporate experiences have equipped me with the necessary attributes to ensure the successful execution of the duties associated with a senior technical or management role.
