Quick Fire:
My last meal on earth: Thai green curry and rice
The album I’d take to a desert island: I’m a big dance music fan (house / trance) so a huge compilation album from the 90’s onwards would be on the cards
The movie I could have on repeat: Groundhog Day! 😉
On my bucket list: Revisiting Australia with the family (where we spent our honeymoon)
At OGL, I’m responsible for…
Managing the web services department consisting of a team of website developers and project leaders.
I’m specifically responsible for the management of the 4 key functions of the team: web project delivery, web product support, bespoke web development and web product development.
When required, I also project manage key complex web services projects.
The thing I’m most proud of in my job is.…
Successfully delivering web solutions and seeing customers reap the benefits of all of the hard work after they go live.
People may not know that in my role…
I manage more than just the delivery of website projects – we also develop additional web-based solutions such as punchout integration and shopping channel Integration.
Before OGL I…
Graduated from Manchester University with a Computer Science degree and worked for a much smaller company for several years. This involved working in varying roles including managing internal eCommerce shopping channels and working in various IT and telecommunication related areas across the business.
What I like most about working at OGL is…
The people. I’m lucky to have a great team within Web Services. However, there is also a great mix of people who work across other teams.
The best career advice I’ve been given…
If you do not get the information you are looking for, keep asking relevant questions until you get there!
When I was growing up, I wanted to be…
An entomologist (someone similar to David Attenborough but more focused on insects).
Away from the office you’ll find me…
Horse riding with my family or geocaching or other outdoor related activities.
