Senior Service Delivery Manager Datacom

“Over 30 years’ experience in Information Technology, having worked in various Service Delivery Roles and being organised by nature, I discovered working to solve problems and willing to take the lead, being collaborative, can work to make a difference.  During my journey, I noted the difference in working in organisations that had greater gender diversity, discovering different mindsets created a more rounded view when working to deliver solutions to customers.  When you work in such an environment you wish everyone could, hence the reason I’m passionate to be part of HerTechPath to engage and encourage the community of girls to make a difference through a technical career in the future and beyond!”
