I head-up the Project Office at Clavister. That involves managing my own project, advising and mentoring the other project managers at Clavister, building the services provided by the Project Office and managing the activities of our outsourced development team in Ukraine.

The complexities of the product that we work with, provide constant challenges to finding a way to get things done. It is wonderful to work with colleagues that have a thorough knowledge of the technicalities and always find a clever solution. They are people that I can rely on.
Education?
PMP and BA Languages, Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg, South Africa
How has your education helped in your job?
I would expect an Employer to be very wary of project managers that either have no formal education or have little experience. Projects will challenge a manager all the time on what is the right thing to do and what is everything that must be done. For that I reference my education. Whether some action will be successful and effective or not, is what I reference from my experience.
