“I have known and worked with Paul in a number of enterprises over the last 25 years. He is a highly skilled Program Manager, Senior Project Manager, and Delivery Lead. His professional and strong leadership has enabled him to orchestrated and manage large and complex programs of work whilst ensuring enterprise and customer outcomes are delivered to the highest of standards. His understanding of the various methodologies, pragmatic approach, technical knowledge, and appreciation of governance has made him an outstanding leader. His leadership style is encouraging and enabling but always remains focused on the end goals. He will pivot where necessary and remain firm when required. Paul’s communication skills will ensure stakeholders are informed and aware whilst his team know their roles and the overall plan plus business reasoning. His relaxed but confident style allows the formation of strong, lasting relationships. This, with his interpersonal skills, is the underlying force that allows him to work both upwards to Board and downwards into the business and technical detail. ”
