Ari Stabologlou
I have had the privilege of working with Karryn Roberts for 5 years. Karryn, was the main report for many aspects of the business, IT being one of them, so during the time that I supported Shamrock Craft, I liaised with her across all matters relating to IT. Karryn is thoughtful, very well organised and a strategically well versed professional. From planning IT Projects with well written documentation to Managing the required tasks to complete a project, assure that no time is wasted and downtime & user disruption is minimised, resulting in a smooth execution of projects. Highly dependable and easy going makes it a pleasure to work with and be managed by Karryn. Karryn is an extremely effective manager with superior organizational skills. When Karryn assembles her team for an initial project meeting, she already has a firm course of action in place with a contingency plan ready in the event of unforeseen circumstances. Karryn is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of other employees.

In my capacity as an outsourced HR Manager, I worked very closely with Karryn in her role as General Manager at Shamrock Craft, completing daily HR functions and specific HR project management. Karryn is inspirational and visionary in her management approach, and I found her to be fair, direct and clear in her interactions with staff and management at all times. During our working relationship, Karryn was instrumental in driving projects that improved efficiencies, compliance and overall strategies that benefited the business and team. Karryn is thorough and meticulous, whilst maintaining a good sense of humour in her interaction with the team at all levels. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karryn to a prospective new employer in any capacity across her knowledge and expertise.
