For the last 14 years I have provided consultancy services to a number of clients on a variety of programmes involving the introduction, replacement, enhancement or expansion of IT systems and associated services. I'm comfortable working at senior levels on such things as business case development, procurement and contracting, but also happy to get into the detail with technical teams as required. I have excellent presentation, communication, organisation and planning skills and have participated in all stages of the project lifecycle many times over. I have held security clearance to CTC level. Past clients/employers include a number of government departments and agencies, HSBC, Sainsbury’s and Accenture.
