Offshore Delivery Manager at SQS
London, United Kingdom
Since early days as a software support Engineer at Mercury, I always strove to deploy best of breed solutions at clients supporting their success and ensuring optimum returns from those solutions.
Shaping and implementing best of breed solutions do not only require all-round consultancy skills but an innovative mind. As the Head of Test Automation, promoting innovation within the consultancy was essence of success for the practice. Launching several successful new offerings was the true reflection of a first-class delivery entity within the Group.
As Offshore Delivery Manager, achieving customer satisfaction and business growth, in a multi-cultural environment, are paramount importance to my success.
