Bio
Eachan Fletcher
I enjoy working with Stephen; it is rare to find a project/programme manager with a pragmatic approach. Stephen is proficient in a number of formal methodologies yet never overburdens any activity with needless bureaucracy – seeking just the right balance to add value without restricting progress. Betfair benefitted from Stephen’s ability to tie together the huge number of complicated and interrelated threads that run in a large organisation, this kind of high level coordination really aided communication and helped us with the huge progress we made in 2007-2008.
Alex Elderfield
Stephen was a strong project manager running and mentoring a team of project managers and project specialists (with varying skill levels). Steve took control of both large projects and acted as a reliable escalation point should other projects go pear shaped. I’d have no reservations in both recommending or employing Steve given the chance.
