“I had the chance to work along with Ian in a few key global projects at Shire some time ago. I can say he is one those great professionals to work with. He was instrumental to put in place a very complex and challenging global program of access to medicines in Latam. Not that he was only knowledgeable and internal client-oriented in his manners, but that he was also results-driven, persistent and so cleverly collaborative with people in the team I managed. The program implied use of new technologies, services transition and a big deal of change for our patients and businesses. From his global position, he showed an open mindset, proactivity, determination but also flexibility in the sense of rethink some programme aspects, adjust them to our geographical idiosyncrasy, and help us move forward through project plans and hit timelines. No doubt Ian is a person who knows to find solutions to complicated problems no matter where they are and where he is. He turns strategies into actions and focuses on continual improvement.”
Camilo Lis, Director, Evidence Generation, Takeda, Argentina
“Ian is a tremendous asset for any organization looking to hire pragmatic project management expertise to resolve complex business issues.

Ian brings deep experience in the launch of large global Medical drug pack and device programs requiring complex, cross-functional (regulatory, medical, supply chain) collaboration and contractual engagement of third party distributors for shipment of early access medicines. His professional accomplishments and personal demeanour make Ian a particularly compelling trusted advisor. I highly recommend him!”

His dedication, people skills and commitment gave him the tools to manage a diverse team of European country service managers towards the successful goal of transforming IT service for over 4000 PC users in over 17 European countries. Inclusive in this remarkable effort was the task of creating a European IT depot service hosted in the UK. This task required in-depth knowledge of service delivery methodologies, excellent organisational skills, appreciation of varying cultures and languages, and not least the technical skills to oversee the amalgamation of over 40 PC build processes down to just one.
