  • Crisis management skills, with strong capabilities in managing complex incidents under pressure.
  • Significant experience implementing cross-functional process improvements and delivering excellent results by leveraging ITIL service management disciplines within the context of service development and service operations.
  • Experience in driving organisational change and fostering a culture of accountability.
  • Proven experience with service management tools, technologies, and processes, with preference to service environments, ITSM functions, processes and best practice standards within Service Delivery.
