Hello!

Thanks for vising this page. Chances are that you're here to find out a little bit more about me, so here goes...

First and foremost I am a Dad of my 2 amazing boys, Ryan and Alexander. They surprise me every day with what they learn, keep me on my toes, and most importantly, help ensure I keep a healthy balance between work and home life.

As for work, I am currently the Portfolio Delivery & Commercial Manager at PanAust where I manage our Technology Project Portfolio, our IT Budget, and Contracts for PanAust. With a fantastic team, we have implemented a Project Delivery Framework, Portfolio Management Platform, and have successfully delivered over 20 projects over the last 2 years.

In terms of my background, I'll keep it reasonably succinct:

- Born and bred in Melbourne and moved up to the Sunny Coast when I was 14.

- Moved to Brisbane after high school and completed a Bachelor of IT at UQ.

- Moved to Sydney with my girlfriend (now wife), Amy for 4 years.

- Moved back to Brisbane and have been here since.

As for my career, I've worked for a number of companies across the Telecommunications, Financial Services, Aviation, and Mining industries, primaily in Project Delivery based roles. I've been extremely fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way. A few highlights include:

- travelling overseas to many great countries such as Canada, India, the UAE, the US, New Zealand, South Korea, and Laos.

- closed the largest CluedIn deal for the Asia Pacific region

- promoted multiple times during my time at Virgin Australia as well as acted in a role reporting directly to the CIO

- have successfully implemented project delivery frameworks across 3 companies now

- and helping people be their best in the leadership roles I've been lucky to fill

Outside of work and family, for fun I love Cycling, watching the AFL, and cooking a nice feast on my trusty BBQ.

In terms of my personal development, I am currently a member of Bulimba Toastmasters and have also recently completed an EMBA with the Quantic University of Business and Technology.

So that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading - Scotty!
