July 2008 to June 2013
Overview
I led a series of complex projects affecting some of the core frontline business processes within GHA’s business model, leading both technical and business development teams to deliver revised business processes and supporting systems.
Each of these complex projects has delivered significant business change that has helped modernise GHA’s way of interacting with their customers.
My ability to meet the business needs, deliver to expectations and my professional approach led to regular contract extensions.
