Looking forward, the biggest changes to our organisation
in the post Covid era will be .... how we work together,
which I believe will be the biggest change for most
businesses. We have always been a cloud enabled organisation;
however, the Microsoft modern workplace technologies have enabled
us to stay connected and remain productive and efficient. The
pandemic has also made me appreciate the time I get to spend with
people in-person which I took for granted before, and I look
forward to phasing back in with hybrid working.
The future vision for our organisation in Glasgow is
.... to grow in size and capability, in-line with our
customer needs, whilst ensuring we are supporting and enabling as
many Financial Services organisations in the area as we can.
The three best things about working in Glasgow are
....
- The people
- The atmosphere
- The diversity
My favourite part of Glasgow is .... Ashton
Lane and The Ubiquitous Chip; lots of wonderful memories with my
family and friends, great nights, great meals.
The most satisfying thing about my job is ....
coming to work every day, working with the best
team I could ask for, I am incredibly proud of every one of them,
and I am privileged to be a part of their career journey.
Financial services is a great career choice because
.... there is so much opportunity to
innovate, transform and make impact across financial services. The
industry also does a great deal of good to help so many people.
The biggest challenge I have faced in my career to date
was .... joining Incremental with a career that had been
dedicated to infrastructure services and security services.
Transitioning to understanding, adopting, and promoting the Power
Platform was a steep, but enjoyable learning curve that required
dedication and commitment to ensure I was achieving the best
possible results for our teams and our customers.
The businessperson I most admire is .... Andrew
Carnegie: Scottish born who emigrated to America, became very
wealthy through good investment, and was crucial in the development
of arts and universities. He gave away 90% of his fortune, whilst
paving the way for other philanthropists to use their wealth to do
good.
Outside of work, I am passionate about .... my
family and friends
My approach to achieving work life balance is
.... I work hard and dedicate as much time as I can to my
team and those around me, but then take the same approach with my
family and friends - I will always be available for them when they
need me.
