I am a native English speaker, originally from the UK, but now based in South Africa. I have spent over 40 years of my working life in global IT/Business Management and Management Consultancy. My most recent experience is in Interim and contract-based positions in companies that need temporary executive-level assistance, either because of a turn-around requirement, to provide gap cover while recruitment is underway, or to manage a specific project. Since 2003 it has mainly been in senior positions in Tertiary education. I am now semi-retired. My most recent assignment was with SABEN/TENET, a supplier of ICT Internet connectivity to the South African tertiary education sector. My role was as project manager visiting all 53 TVET colleges in South Africa to establish the state of ICT provision in each TVET; My report was presented to the Minister of Education in early December 2019. Further assignments were cancelled because of travel restrictions following the Covid pandemic. I am now semi-retired. Prior to that, I was an ICT Consultant and part-time ICT lecturer at Woldia University in northern Ethiopia. My main project was the $ 25 million design and installation of a new state-of-the-art multi-campus network, including hardware, software and ancillary services such as a solar power installation. The current ICT department was also to be completely restructured. I had full management and budget responsibility, reporting directly to the head of the University. The project team was 5 University employees and around 30 sub-contractors. Unfortunately, the project will need to be restarted from scratch following the destruction of the University's ICT infrastructure in the 2021/2 civil war. I have also filled senior ICT roles at Pretoria University and been ICT Director at two universities in the Easter Cape province in South Africa. I have been writing regular articles on business and IT technical topics to be published on various blogs for Upwork clients each month for several years, supplemented by one-off assignments as they arise. Unfortunately, because of Non-Disclosure Agreements and other confidentiality considerations, the only samples I can provide are generic. I will be happy to provide any other samples that you might need, but only within those restrictions.

I am incredibly passionate about what I do with my time, no matter the industry that this takes place. I believe that a career is an expression of yourself and your values - and I intend to always elevate myself and my team to produce the highest quality work. I pride myself in being the hardest worker in the room. I'm looking for a company that will challenge me while ensuring that I'm making a valuable and tangible impact on people's lives. The way that I engage with my teams, clients and manage products is rooted in my worldview which is pushing against the debilitating conditioning of societal norms. I believe that unlearning inhibiting habits, behaviours and insecurities enables people to bring their best version of themselves to the team which results in great quality in work. My team-management approach is the key differentiator and the reason that I believe I can bring magic into your product team. My method includes experimenting with different personalities, a strong focus on releasing limiting ideas and beliefs and assisting in character transformation which I have seen produces a whole new level of commitment and excitement for one's contribution to the team / product environment. I am a qualified transformational life coach which I believe gives me a deeper understanding of how to motivate and inspire people - which injects a new level of power and energy into the team. I have had a wide variety of industry experience over my career which has also given me an holistic understanding of customer behaviours in different service or product environments and this is key to tackling problems without bias or conditioning. To be great problem solvers we can not be too restricted by our beliefs but open to learning. Agile methodologies are also the centre of my management style. Both in product development and team development. Constant learning and iteration will always be the most progressive way to evolve in a radically evolving environment. And last, but not least, my foundation to any product or service offering is consumer-focused. Businesses that prioritise the customer experience and relationship will always be ahead of the curve and that is where I want to be. Most prominent projects I've worked on/in: Best Buy Pilot project Bose online hearing Screener World Health Organisation mobile app - hearWHO MTN Developer Portal Chenosis API Marketplace Spar Home delivery app and Many more..
