Having worked with Joe for over 6 years across a multitude of complex and cross-functional projects, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He’s an unbeatable mix of being knowledgable, pragmatic and personable, making him a brilliant addition to any team. I’m lucky enough to know him outside of work too, and he’s a great friend who always takes the time to be there for you. Thank you Joe!

Joe is a fantastic project manager. He combines a deep understanding of project methodologies with good technical understanding and superb communication skills. Joe is dedicated to making a project ‘work’ and getting every team member on-side to deliver in a positive way. Joe is also ready to highlight program/project issues in a constructive way that help overcome barriers. It’s a rare skill.
