I have 8 years experience managing Information Technology Projects and over 10 years experience in IT-related roles. During those 10 years I have moved from hands-on configuration of systems to taking a strategic approach to managing projects and influencing IT policy and purchasing decisions.

My focus is on aligning business processes with a greater organisational vision. I am inspired when the application of Information Technology achieves genuine organisational benefits and improves peoples' everyday lives.

I am keenly involved in the advancement of the socially connected web and would love to contribute as a strategist, promoter of new technologies and community builder.

Also passionate about the telecommunications industry and public affairs.

Let me know how I can help you find solutions to the challenges in your organisation!
