Drive disaster recovery planning and protocols nationwide, investigating the organization’s capacity to identify risks, effectively protect technology asset investments, and ensure the recovery and continuity of critical systems in the event of a disaster. Project-manage strategy, procedures, and testing to assess business impact, and preside over awareness programs to enlist management commitment to ongoing system enhancements. Acquisition of CGU Insurance by IAG in 2003, prompted an organizational restructure, and appointment to a new, yet similar role with increased accountabilities and authority.
Summary: Confronted upon appointment to the Disaster Recovery Coordinator’s role in November 2000 to a division with negligible documentation, ad hoc processes, a lack of formal standards, and scant disaster recovery plans primarily focused on the mainframe platform. With no testing conducted for 12-months, immediate action was critical to lessen risk and protect assets. Immediately established regular meetings with managers to elevate awareness of the importance of disaster recovery and the potential impact and cost of data loss to operations, and devised the first testing plan that transformed makeshift processes into a formal set of procedures that underpinned the new disaster recovery strategy.

CONSULATE GENERAL OF JAPAN, Sydney

With 30,000 Japanese people living, working, and traveling in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, and in New Caledonia, the role is unpredictable, rich in diversity, frequently demanding, and simultaneously draining. Confronting overwhelming emotions and respecting cultural sensitivities when dealing with victims of crime, lawbreakers, accidental death and more, takes an immense toll on the people and families involved; it necessitates an empathic and professional stance, and the local expertise to engage the community—from police and emergency services, to legal representatives, funeral homes, and more.

At the conclusion of the contract, the company had won its first sale, was established as an ecommerce business, and had seamlessly produced its first turnkey solution.

· Devised a high-impact, multi-phased marketing campaign to introduce brand name and image via prominent tradeshow positioning, direct mail strategy, cold prospecting, and on-site customer demonstrations.
· Penetrated the market in Japan with the groundbreaking $US 200K sale of the ecommerce pilot system to marine diesel engine manufacturer, Mitsui Zosen for online spare parts ordering. Tough negotiations conducted over several months produced a successful outcome with added-value training used as a deal ‘sweetener’.
· Project-managed the development and installation of the pilot system through concept to successful handover of a turnkey solution complete with trained and competent staff.

Experience Narrative

BUPA AUSTRALIA HEALTH, Melbourne
2003–Present
Network Systems Manager

The purchase of HBA by AXA in August 2002, prompted unprecedented change for BUPA’s technology desktop and call center infrastructure that had remained stagnant for 8-years.
With an “impossible” deadline of just 12-months to relocate to new premises, select new networks and contact systems, and steer the complete project lifecycle from design through tenders and final cutover, the challenges were significant.
Declining staff morale prompted through fear of cultural change and the need to deal with antiquated and failing systems daily, further complicated the project—as did the tight purchasing budget and pressure to integrate data seamlessly from old to new platforms with zero tolerance for lost records.
The project, delivered successfully to deadline and budget, was immediately distinguished through measurable benefits to both productivity and customer service—with 80% of calls answered within 20 seconds on the first day of the relocation. A post-implementation review revealed fewer problems for the agents and increased visibility of the call center’s performance.
Personal contributions/highlights
· Negotiated “best of breed” technologies at an affordable price during a series of tough vendor negotiations. Evaluated four vendors and entire product ranges in just 4-weeks, opting to purchase Avaya.
· Collaborated in the development of an RFP with a specialist contract center consultant. Defined business needs and detailed project constraints.
· Recruited two helpdesk staff, two engineers, and an administrative professional.
· Fast-tracked employee communications by ensuring transparency through regular progress updates. Set expectations for staff to aim towards a smooth transition.

A high-pressure specialist role in an environment where even minimal downtime could potentially cost losses of millions for commodity market traders. Despite the critical need for 24 x 7 live systems, servers were regularly falling short in their capacity to “fail over” seamlessly to other servers, and the understaffed team lacked the technical know-how to avoid the increasingly disgruntled energy traders, database administrators, and management complaints.
· Corrected configuration issues that had eluded system technicians and attacked escalated problems considered contentious among end-users.
· Eliminated work backlogs freeing time to educate junior team members. Personally conducted training sessions that served to elevate the team’s professional expertise in coping with increasingly difficult legacy system operations, and improve the division’s reputation significantly with end-users.

· Devised diagnostic shell scripts that allowed server status to be captured for advanced analysis and resolution of regular Lotus Notes server crashes.
· Adjusted backup schedules ensuring server outages caused minimal business impact.
· Strategically reworked backup policy to maximize available resources. Accomplished individual user mailbox restorations within one hour, and complete server restorations in just three hours.
· Predicted system resources, analyzed CPU and disk usage; identified performance bottlenecks.

AIX Systems Administrator
1999–2000
Upon the diversification of the company into separate business units, was appointed to concentrate on messaging/groupware systems. A broad mix of operating platforms, the increasing demands to provide technical support for an external client base, and third line technical support on both current and legacy systems, ensured the role was both multifaceted and challenging.
· Monitored AIX servers onsite for 12-hours during Year 2000 rollover. Conducted pre-rollover maintenance, and observed world transitions allowing minor “tweaking.” Y2K rollover proceeded without issue.

PRUDENTIAL BANK / EGG PLC

1998
IBM Disaster Recovery Consultant
Assisted UNIX, Oracle, network, and applications teams in producing documentation for operating systems, database, and application recovery protocols.
