What I'm Looking for

I am a curious and caring individual, who
is fueled by passion, taking pleasure in the challenge and excitement of new opportunity. Doing things never achieved, in ways never tried, with people willing to give it a go....this is the place I am most satisfied. I continually advance my mindset with its epicenter at 'Growth' and an overwhelming sense of
accountability in the work i do.


I'm looking for a company that takes
managed risk, risks in my capability, and demonstrates commitment in my
growth and development within a high
performing team. I'm in search of
something not already on my resume, working with future role models.

Culture and Way of Work

I believe in, try to live to, and need to work in a culture that:

  • Is centered around Customers
  • Is Fearless and lives to learn
  • Is Future oriented
  • Always looks to find better ways
  • Is Authentic and curious
  • Is Candid and not scare to Speak up!
  • Is Brilliant together
  • Has each others back
  • Where people own the outcome
  • Embraces technology and its people are trusted to bring the smarts 

   

  

  

Summary

My career has been enriched with
experience in strategy design, architecture, analytics, stakeholder
engagement and process design. Having lead teams in delivery, support
and project environments, as well
as managing partner relationships, i
now focus primarily on vision and
strategic projects that accelerate
delivery of digital advancement of
business workflows. I am best located
in a focused, innovative and
accountable environment where I can
leverage creative mindset to achieve
value in a team that is interdependent
and candid.


I am a problem solver, analytical
minded, change embracing, innovator
that likes to think out the box at solving
complex problems, and often find
myself thinking 10 steps ahead, 20 steps too deep. Described as an honest, charismatic individual who strives for achievement and challenge. I thrive on engaging customers to solve challenging
problems. I possess strong leadership
qualities with an avid team spirit and
enjoy a outcome driven work
environment with an underpinned
strong role model, rather than leader.


I am best known for my contrarian view
of complex problem solving and
customer obsession.
