Senior Consultant @ PRA is an innovative ICT contract and permanent recruitment solution provider, with services ranging from individual placements and enterprise resource planning to total recruitment supply chain management. I joined PRA in March 2011 to establish a Strategy and Architecture desk. Since then, demand from my client base has evolved to cover Program and Project Management, Cloud (data centre infrastructure, AWS, Azure) and emerging technologies such as DevOps and Internet of Things. I have had particular success in building mixed project teams of contractors, incorporating both PMO resources and Architects/Engineers in start-up environments, as well as niche Management Consulting/Advisory roles on behalf of global Consulting firms. A significant portion of my supplier relationships stem from people that I’ve helped to find work. My approach is very candidate-driven and I’ve found that many candidates I have represented have asked for my help when hiring into their own teams. I’m always interested to connect and network with people that possess experience in the skills mentioned below to help them find their next long-term career move or contract placement. Core areas of specialism are: • Enterprise & Solutions Architecture • Management Consulting (IT & Business Strategy, Strategic Sourcing Advisory) • Cloud Strategy & Delivery (private, public, hybrid solutions) • DevOps Engineers • Program & Project Management My geographical coverage is Sydney, Greater NSW and ACT. From March 2011 to Present (4 years 9 months) Sydney Area, Australia
