Services offered

I am an I.T graduate with 30 years of solid business experience. I would like to present myself to you as a Project Manager with experience gained in corporate, both internationally in the USA, as well as locally. 

My background and formal qualification are in Information Systems Management (I.T software development). I have managed concurrent large scale strategic enterprise projects in legacy, ERP, and in Agile environments.  I have extensive work experience in a structured SDLC environment. I am both PRINCE2 as well as PMBOK literate having completed both courses.

I have predominantly worked in the I.T Services sector.  I consider myself to be, not only client-centric, but to also have a very fine balance between being task-orientated and people-orientated. I firmly believe that my soft skills are one of my strongest attributes. PMs are change agents, and this is critical for successful project management.
