I have known this candidate for
several years, initially as a hiring client, and have met him several times at
industry events such as ISE and The AV Awards (http://www.avawards.com/). He is an
approachable and professional person who is well respected in the UK Pro AV
community.
This candidate has a track record of
success in delivering technology based business solutions for corporate
enterprises. He got into AV and collaborative technologies working directly for
an end-user client – a large investment firm in New York. He oversaw the
complete overhaul of their Audio Visual and Video Conferencing systems and
infrastructure, working with senior management to increase user confidence and
adoption, enabling the technology to deliver its aims in line with the business
needs. This massive undertaking was a complete success, the outcome of which
was a significant difference to the company’s bottom line.
Following this initial success, he
went on to manage the company’s AV services, implementing service level
agreements with third party service providers, ensuring value for the client
and reducing AV project turnaround times by 30%.
In 2008 he took the opportunity to
establish and develop the European division of a US enterprise level AV
solutions and services provider. Again, he was successful in this, building in
his previous experience to manage the operation, recruit the required technical
and sales staff, build relationships with vendors and service providers, with
overall responsibility for budgets and profit & loss.
During this time, he gained experience
working with a variety of large corporate customers, gaining insight into the
different methods and possibilities of utilising AV and collaboration
technologies. This knowledge will be invaluable to end-user clients that he
works with in the future, either as an in-house specialist, or with an external
service provider in a service delivery role.
This candidate has unique skills and
experiences that can make a genuine and sizable difference to the outcomes for
organisations looking to get the most from their enterprise technologies.
With bases in the UK (South East) and
the US (New York) he is open to opportunities on either side of the Atlantic. He
is flexible on salary and is keen to find an opportunity that excites him,
where he can make use of his knowledge and experience, and make a difference
for his new employer. He is available at short notice and eager to get his
teeth into a suitable role as soon as possible.
