Consulting/Interim/Leadership
In my technical leadership and interim roles my strengths are:
- Bringing clarity to complex situations through clear articulation of key decision points
- Identifying and removing blockers to progress
- Prioritising useful action over continuing discussion
My extensive experience in speedy analyses of businesses in various sectors allows me to quickly identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of technical organisations. This, combined with my being an ‘outsider’ experienced in technical delivery, allows me to quickly unblock dysfunctional organisations.
