About

At the helm of Vector PPM as Managing Director, my focus is on steering transformative projects in cloud technology and cyber security. The portfolio boasts a series of major implementations, including Azure and AWS platform builds and migrations, Cloud contact centre build, which have fortified our clients’ technological infrastructures. With leadership honed over 17 years, my approach intertwines strategic oversight with hands-on management, ensuring seamless service transitions and robust cloud readiness for a diverse client base. Collaborating closely with Clients, we've navigated complex cyber security landscapes, executed multiple contact centre platform deliveries, Data Centre closures and managed many service transitions. My methodology is grounded in adapting best practices from ToGAF, ITIL, Prince2, PMP, Scrum and Agile to tailor solutions that resonate with unique organizational needs. The drive to excel in client program and project management is fuelled by a commitment to forge enduring partnerships and deliver excellence in every venture.
