Sybase
Sept 2006 - Dec 2011Practice ManagerI headed up the Western Cape Mobile Division of Sybase, which focussed on mobilising information to the front lines of our customers' businesses.

SAP
Jan 2012 - Oct 2015At SAP UK I worked closely with customers assisting them to realise the value, benefits and process around 'mobilising' field based processes utilising the SAP mobile solution set. I witnessed on a daily basis how helping clients to empower their field workers with real-time information changed the story of their business, moving them from barely satisfying customers by reacting to issues, to delighting customers by being proactive! At SAP South Africa, my role was very similar to SAP UK however being based in Cape Town I was focussed on the key and enterprise accounts space for the coastal region of South Africa, East Africa, Angola and Mozambique. Same job, better view :-)
