Business Consultant

Bio

With over 36 years of working in IT, David has had the opportunity to work within both the public and private sector. The roles undertaken have focused on improving service to clients while at the same time reducing the overall cost of that service. The wide variety of engagements undertaken have allowed David to develop strong problem solving skills as well as develop strategies for clients.

Although predominantly focused on IT, the tasks over the past 17 years have been more business focussed, where he has been required to redesign IT organisations as well as utilising technology to improve the way in which the business runs and becoming more involved with the business and the way in which it runs as well as the pressures faced. David has had budgetary responsibility at EDS/HP where he managed a multi-million dollar budget delivering service to clients that totalled $35bn revenue to EDS. David's objective here was to reduce the teams cost of delivery which required David to develop and implement a transformation that resulted in the team going from a loss to a profit maker.

David has worked on projects that have gone into jeopardy where failure would have incurred major financial penalties. The importance of the project was such that David was required to become a member of the board for two separate UK entities, where David not only had to report on the status of the project but to advise on the support needed from the business. The project also required David to bring together a team that had lacked direction. Projects were implemented on time and to budget. David now wishes to use the experience gained over the past 36 years to improve the way in which organisations run. David has extensive experience of both developing and challenging IT strategies, ensuring they are of benefit to the business.
