Profile
As
an Account Manager I have spent the past 5 years in the Content
Management Arena, heavily focusing on Information Architecture
and User Interface Design, to create success in Corporate and
Government Internet, Intranet, and Extranet sites. Additionally
I work closely with clients on developing solid Workflow policies
to ensure continued success. I enjoy earning the respect and confidence
of a client and continually seek the rewards gained by leading
a team from concept through to delivery.
As an Australian I have spent 20 Years living
throughout the UK, Asia and America thus opening my mind globally.
Having the opportunity to work in the industry in Germany, England,
Wales and Australia has added to my understanding of culture and
markets, I find that I can quickly relate to new people and environments.
