Bio
Bren Tierney
I've been lucky to have been in the customer meeting where Paul turned an audience of 23 on to our value proposition (on multiple levels) - and convinced them. He's quietly fearless, he listens, then responds - capturing the customer requirement and showing how it can be delivered practically and commercially. "Safe pair of hands" describes Paul - all the usual clichés of team player and committed don't do him justice - I'm happy to recommend him to any future customer or employer.
Andrew Pearce
I had the pleasure of working with Paul as head of Professional Services at Intelliden. Paul is a loyal , hardworking and intelligent individual with a great sense of humour. Capable and willing to take on diverse tasks across a PS portfolio, he was well respected by the team and client alike. A strong team player he can, however, if the occasion requires it work just as well on his own, ensuring timely and complete deliverables. He has a well developed project management discipline as well as mature technical ability and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any possible employer.
