Welcome to My Career

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 have had two periods of employment with Oracle initially in Consultancy specializing in Materials Management, Ecommerce and Healthcare across EMEA and the USA. Currently I am Automation Director for Oracle Customer Services 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 International and a Guild Freeman of the City of London.

Areas of Expertise

Leadership - My experience of managing physical and virtual international 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management of these teams I have successfully led ground breaking Java/SQL/Analytics based developments to replace outdated methods within limited timescales using rapid delivery techniques – I created and authored the underlying 5Ds rapid delivery process. 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 from personal innovation - leading to repeat engagements to present more effective methods of revenue forecasting, new business identification and improved Customer retention rates.

Business Management - I have a broad business management background with experience of international negotiation and management of multi-million dollar budgets. I have improved business performance via strategic partner channels – in one case achieving 300% growth per annum – and internally resulting in six figure costs savings. As a ‘hybrid manager’ I make maximum use of my combined business and technical experience to achieve effective and optimum Corporate solutions.

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 material for both the academic and commercial media.
