Senior Software Producer
Imagination Ltd.
I worked with a wide variety of clients and projects, ranging from blue chip companies including Ford (US, Europe and UK), Ericsson, Holiday Inn, Guinness, Alitalia, British Steel, Portugal Telecom, MEB. The projects ranged from a straight-forward AGM to major pan-European launches involving multiple languages. Roles developed from software development and management to creative event production, coupled with team management.
For several years, I was departmental manager for co-ordinating the financial roadshow team, often with many projects in production at any one time. My responsibilities were taking the brief from the account team, assigning people and graphic resources, booking graphics production facilities, support for the account team at pitch stage and any other issues in the day to day running of this area of the business. Over the years, I took on more responsibility for the department and deputised regularly for the head of department.

Clients worked with include: BT; Guinness Ireland; Holiday Inn; Midlands Electricity; T-Mobile; British Steel; Alitalia; France Telecom; ING Group; Ericsson; Ford of Britain, Canada, Europe and US Division
