I have been fortunate to gain exposure to a wide range of industries, markets, products, processes and people,
resulting in the following list of services that I either personally deliver, or project manage the delivery of, as a PMP project Management Professional.
Please click on a work category for a detailed breakdown of either what I am skilled in doing, or what I haev directly project managed in the past.
Certified Project Management Institute Project Manager with degrees in Arts & Science, I ave been lucky enough in my career to influences and improve vast areas of business across multiple industries and across internal teams or all levels.
From the early days of printed mailshots loaded into mail-merged envelopes, to automated follow-up campaign management, from e-commerce to payment gateways, the last 20 years has been a fast-paced adventure as the World Wide Web took shape!
From humble beginnings making websites for small companies, all the way up to Enterprise Resource Planning systems for direct suppliers to Fortune 50 companies, websites, IT & software are at the core of my success.
From small offices, SMEs and solo entrepeneur outfits, to large-scale Chinese factories, there isn't a single business that cannot benefit from design & media attention.
A core part of my skillset is my passion for data quality and my ability to wrangle large datasets. When the mantra "Data is Gold" became commonplace, I was already leading the charge, with best-practice training and processes for org-wide data entry, management, auditing and reporting.
11 years in large-scale manufacturing in China helped me gain a deep insight into how so much of my work either in the front-end (upstream, client-facing), as well as the administrative / back office work, was deeply intertwined with downstream operations across departments and even across entire supply chains.
I then gained an experienced knowledge about the end-to-end product lifecycle, from ideation through to EOL.
Where many 'tech-heads' come up short is in creative writing - a skill that requires access to a different part of the brain. I enjoy both the technical and creative elements of my work.
Now that the products are produced and sold, these same processes, systems and data play a key role in the delivery of the goods to the customer.
From my time as an I.T. lecturer in
More recently, IT - particulary cloud computing - has transformed how people work. I combine a passion for communication (documents, processes, presenting), and data quality (databases, spreadsheets, live data feeds) to find areas of improvement across all facets of daily business.
Native British English (I can do some good accents for fun!) and operationally fluent in Mandarin Chinese, I enjoy transferring cultural and experiential differences between teams to maximise results.
It is thanks to some incredible tech companies, software providers and SaaS organisations, that I am able to be as effective as I am. You will recognise many, I'm sure, and may even see some you don't recognise.
