| Consulting Profile: |
Started out as an Electronics Engineer in Command & Control Systems and from there moved into software and thence to consulting. Held management positions in several startups with responsibility for Product Development, Customer Services and IS/IT. This culminated in a high-profile dotcom in the late 90s. Since 2000 I have operated as an independent consultant working at a strategic level with commercial and not-for-profit clients, especially service companies and membership associations. In addition to strategy work I also manage more tactical business improvement projects where IT has a significant role. I can do this by bringing in colleagues with appropriate specialist skills as necessary. My speciality is being able to work with what clients have and help them move forward in the faster and more cost-effective fashion that becomes possible when we build on what's already in place. |
