SKILLS
ABOUT ROB PRIOR
IT Delivery Professional with over 35 years of experience across Financial, Retail, Utilities and Aerospace Sectors. Logical and structured thinker, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Practical experience of how IT supports Business and how to deliver safely, working in risk-based landscape, whilst ensuring focus on requirements and outcomes. Background HistoryStarting with a 20 year foundation of IT Operations experience across all key technologies of the day (incl. mainframe, mid-tier, networks), I later progressed towards Operations Acceptance and Operational Acceptance Testing (OAT) domains. Success here resulting in my becoming Team Leader, managing OAT Test Managers globally across UK, India and Singapore.After a company reorganisation / federation of functions resulted in my role dropping away, I took the opportunity to diversify into other sectors over a 4 year period, finding delivery success in both Retail and Utilities sectors, but ultimately returning to my earlier employer bringing with me my increased breadth and depth of experiences, but now in context of Cyber Security Project Management.Professional Goals- Customer/Client/Stakeholder focus- Support of Organisational, Team, and Individual success- Robust, positive but transparent Risk Management- Achieving positive outcomes through effective communications and robust risk management processes- Happy to lead and coach teams if role demands, but gain personal satisfaction by remaining just close enough to the core workload of those I lead so I understand the conditions they themselves are in when delivering- CISSP accreditation.Specialities- Management and delivery of significant roll-out projects across national and global infrastructures- Strong Problem Solving and Root Cause Analysis skills, able to find creative solutions where needed- Management of Stakeholders both within own organisation, but equally recognised by external Client organisations as being an enabler to collaborative success- Technical Team Leadership and Management- Broad Foundation of IT Operations experience (literally from from ground up) has supported me well in all subsequent roles- Service Recovery Management (one of the pilot / founding volunteers for this role) from which you very much learn not only the importance of success, but the even more importance of managing things correctly when they don\'t go to plan- Recruitment of both permanent and contract staff, from both CV review and interview perspective.
