John Robbins’s Summary

I am a professional business consultant specialising in operational and both business and systems process engineering, functional design and regulatory compliance.
From a career to management level in general insurance, software solutions, and currently as a freelance, I have strong skills and experience as a consultant, analyst and project manager in freelance and associate roles for the insurance, finance, software solutions, public sector and outsourcing service provider industries in the UK and international markets.
As an international contractor my goal is to enjoy adding skills and experience from working in challenging, dynamic, "can do" environments worldwide, but would consider changing to a longer term role with a dynamic organisation operating under a "can do" culture.
