About Me

I began my career in sales, project management and consultancy within the Oil and Gas industry. In 1983 I transitioned into Information Technology (IT) where I held positions in DEC, Data General and Uniplex covering marketing, consultancy, strategic account management, business management and third party software licensing across EMEA and the USA.

I am currently Automation Director at Oracle Corporation driving global project teams to design, program and deliver business intelligence solutions using PL/SQL, Java and Analytics.

In my private life I am a Mirandanet Fellow (Institute of Education), a member of Rotary and a Guild Freeman of the City of London.

Areas of Expertise

Leadership - My experience of managing physical and international virtual teams has earned me a reputation for rapidly consolidating disparate resources into cohesive productive units. Through effective management of these teams I have successfully led ground breaking Java/SQL/Analytics based developments within limited timescales using rapid delivery techniques. The resulting operational improvements and process efficiency gains produce multi-million dollar annual savings.

Change Management - I have driven change management projects to standardise processes and streamline operations both at local and international levels. I have influenced business units to make use of the latest techniques - both Corporate and personal innovations - leading to repeat engagements to present more effective methods of revenue forecasting, new business identification and account management.

Business Management - I have a broad business management background with experience of international commercial negotiation and the management of multi-million dollar budgets. I have improved business performance via strategic partner channels achieving up to 300% growth per annum and streamlined internal processes achieving up to $100 million per annum in direct business benefits.

Communication - I have had dealings on the international stage throughout my career covering EMEA, North America, India and the Far East. This has allowed me to hone my interpersonal and verbal skills in a wide variety of multi-lingual, multi-cultural environments. My written skills are also well developed from experience of producing magazine articles and material for both academic and commercial media.
