Darren Levin
Craig and I worked together in the Strategic Project Office at Virgin Active for 5 years. He is an exceptional Programme Manager who ran enterprise sized programmes across both Information Technology and Business related areas. He is highly intelligent, dedicated, meticulous, diligent and exhibits high levels of emotional intelligence, while working with a cross spectrum of stakeholders. His development background allows him to have a deep understanding of technology based projects and his ability to take ownership of projects often finds him becoming a subject matter expert. I would strongly recommend him and believe he would be an asset to any organisation and team.
