About

As the Deputy Director Delivery (Programme Delivery Manager) I am responsible for the delivery of all information related projects and programmes. With a proven record on delivering complex multi million dollar projects and programmes on time, scope and within budget. As an articulate pragmatic problem solver who enjoys the challenges that opportunity brings, I am able to plan, deliver and execute complex and diverse acquisitions, project and programmes necessary to reduce total cost of ownership through effective collaboration with industry. All tasks that are big or complex can be solved with the right team if led by the right person. I have a proven ability to lead diverse teams whilst working under extreme pressure, and I am ready and looking for the next challenge.
