I'm offering
I believe that any successful project is done with a happy team and my aim is always to get the best out of all involved to deliver success. I'm great with people and in addition I have technical understanding too so when working with technical teams I can help get details and timelines right.
I've worked with all levels of stakeholders, as well as third party providers and offshore teams.
Recent project was a large datacentre programme delivering Azure platform and planning and migrating servers globally to new datacentres working with local teams and managed service providers, delivering to a tight deadline. I have also delivered processes during managed service provider transition delivery and vendor contracts delivery.
