About
I graduated as a mechanical engineer in the UK and progressed through engineering design and construction roles, into project management and Subcontractor/Contracts Management within the British utilities sector. With transferable skills I redeployed to IT Management Consulting and large-scale implementation experience building on the technical skill from engineering and industry knowledge to help operational optimisation using integrations, workflows and process redesign combined with cutting edge mobile working tools and devices. The technology, operations design and management skills were then used to great effect in transitioning into Financial Services industry after emigrating to Bermuda. Focused on managing the increasing risk, control and compliance challenges with dependency on ever more complex technology in financial services. My development was then in the vein of Vendor management where negotiation, strategic procurement, contract management and relationship management skills were refined in managing multimillion dollar partnerships, including the negotiation and management of the strategic IT outsourcing for a regional bank. Putting all of the experience together as package to deliver value came as I moved to become the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for Bermudian bank looking to move the Information Technology division and strategy to a new level. This then evolved into the COO role delivering value through the middle office, back office, branch service on top of the Technology and Programme Delivery as a key part of the Executive team.Moving into an insurance and financial service organization allowed a change to the focus on digital capabilities for both automation as well as enhanced customer experience whilst working to change mindsets on customer expectation and how services can be delivered to extract enhanced value. As a CIO & COO we moved the organization forward significantly and now I am looking for the next chance to make a difference.
