CAREER SUMMARY
My interpersonal skills, attention to detail and ability to work effectively within diverse
environments, particularly those requiring strong communication skills and responding to
needs of customers, are among my highest attributes. The variety of tasks and sectors in
which I have worked has meant that I have become a quick learner, capable of
prioritising and working effectively in a multi-task environment.
Main task was to Project Manage a £28M UK wide network rollout, comprising a new
National Optical Network, and High Capacity Switching and Multiplexing equipment. This
Telco rollout involved new hardware suppliers and was the largest value infrastructure
project undertaken by NTL in this period of sustained growth. I was the key interface
between the supplier and the business and was responsible for ensuring delivery lead
times were met, this was achieved by fostering a positive approach to issues and
maintaining a cool head with an ability to think clearly in pressurised environments.
The rollout was managed using a variety of management tools and controls, including
Prince 2, this ensured this high profile, high value project and it’s dependencies
proceeded to the operational environment in a controlled and manageable series of
phases, designed to provide Data and Telco services initially to areas of the country
where previous network capacity was reaching it’s limits, eventually covering the length
and breadth of the country and connecting to all newly acquired sites and businesses.
An energetic and focussed approach to deal with risk, ensured that this Project had in-
built contingency plans, to ensure progress was made during all phases ensuring an
appropriate and effective use of resource, this project was successful and was the
Telco/IT backbone Infrastructure to NTL’s 3rd generation technologies, including the UK
Internet Service, migration from legacy ATM architecture to POP and Gateways.
Responsible for a £26 Million pound budget I utilised Oracle Financials to keep the project
within tolerances, I enabled cost savings to be made by bringing to the table an intimate
knowledge of the UK telco supplier network.
