I have always been a technocrat at heart and started my career as an Electronics Engineer right after I’ve completed my B.Eng (Electronics Engineering) Degree. This started me on a journey which led to me working with key role players across the globe on major projects. My experience and passion for technology later merged with the dynamic Transport Sector. I have a passion for working with people and for the last 19 years I have been involved at a Senior Management Level with specialist projects and programmes where my unique expertise in software and hardware development combined with my people and management skills has improved project outcomes and client expectations. A game changer in my career – which radically shaped me as a senior leader – is the success my team and I achieved at Neotel. I led multi-disciplinary technical teams to significant success by applying robust and pro-active controls and delivered renewed confidence and radically improved the Specialist Project Management Team’s project delivery output. This was done through detailed review and optimisation of all value chain processes, managing and measuring team and individual performance and working actively to motivate and improve coherence within the team. All without increasing the cost base. At Neotel and Intertoll, I have witnessed what a team is capable of if they have a shared vision of excellence and this forms the baseline of my leadership style. I am passionate about making a meaningful difference. This means delivering optimised outcomes on projects and helping team members realize their full potential. It gives me great pleasure to share my expertise with others through encouragement, mentorship or training.
