PoIT was approached by Ventia to run Payroll and Time & Attendance as an outsourced business process. I joined the PoIT team to develop this new business opportunity for PoIT, and have taken accountability to deliver a superior customer experience and business outcome for Ventia.

Using the Lean Six Sigma methodology I was involved and later lead a number of Business Improvement Projects, including subject areas outside of IT systems such as improving customer service processes and simplify pricing and promotions processes for Coca-Cola Amatil.

My role evolved from programming complex functions on the IBM AS400 to being responsible lead architect for applications within the EIS-suite, both on midrange and PC platforms.

Kick-off and lead a Systems and Business Process Transformation to prepare Roteq for significant future growth and globalisation.

Primary Health Care (PHC) is using KRONOS - the market leading TARS solution - to process Payroll for over 11.000 employees in a white-collar environment. I did not only own the system end-to-end, but was also the responsible business user. I reengineered business processes around the payroll and other HR systems, created training material and held interstate training events, became the internal authority on Modern Awards and their implementation, rationalised the system configuration and analysed a wealth of data to produce actionable insight into cost drivers to ensure efficient resource utilisation across the organisation. I developed and recommended a strategic organisational transformation program which will change how PHC hires and employs staff members and drive multi-million dollar sustainable cost reductions. My recommendations have been accepted by the executive team and are being implemented. I remain a shareholder and am looking forward to this initiative to come to fruition.

Lead a re-implementation project of Kronos – upgrading the system and rolling out biometrics whilst becoming an expert in system configuration and integration technology. Analysed HR systems available in the market and devised a strategic roadmap including the use of multiple modules of the Successfactors solution. Developed business cases, made recommendations, secured funding and delivered end-to-end software solutions in the HR space.

For a period of 15 month I worked for myself in Austria after applying for a skilled immigration permanent residency visa to Australia. My goal in that time was to make enough money to support the move of my family to Australia and sustain a period of uncertainty after arriving. I successfully sold professional IT consulting services to small and medium sized businesses in Vienna, and managed complex SW development projects from requirements gathering and analysis to implementation for a number of customers, e.g. Vienna City Rail - Supply management, VB.Net and SQL Server Two Vienna transport businesses - GIS system implementation

What an experience... highly rewarding on so many levels! master-talk Telecom was established in 1999 in Austria to compete in a government tender to provide nation-wide “Terrestrial Trunked Radio” services (TETRA) for police and military operations in Austria. I joined the start-up at an early stage to take charge of all matters concerning information systems and data solutions that could potentially make use of this new technology. The goal post was winning the government bid – without it there wasn’t going to be a company. Small team, huge efforts, great team spirit – a really fun 2 years of my life, gaining insights and experience in a number of non-IT matters e.g. legal, marketing, trade shows, etc. Key Achievement: We won the 600 million EURO tender...
