Project Manager

Joined us in October 2001

How did you end up in Liberty IT?

"I'd gone straight into British Telecom in 1992 after graduating, landing in with a strong team and mentor mentality and a very professional attitude to work that has served me well to this day. But I was working for another company prior to joining Liberty, which happened as a result of talking to the MD at the time."

Why did you accept the offer?

"I saw stability both at Liberty and in the insurance markets at a time when venture capital was draining out of the industry here. Also they had a great reputation for working in modern technologies."

How did you settle in?

"I've always been a self starter and as I was given a new area to develop I got stuck in straight away. My initial task was building and managing a Belfast-based team working on projects for Business Markets in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It presented many opportunities and challenges for myself, my team and Liberty IT, including helping to drive through a major technology shift - towards J2EE architectures."

What are you working on now?

"I'm currently working with Agency Markets, a new area for LIT based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the past three years this area has been growing and diversifying. It's providing a steady stream of challenging work for my teams. We've been involved with major enhancements of existing applications that allowed us to build a great reputation from the bottom up and engage with Liberty Mutual management from the top down."

What do you like best about working in Liberty IT?

"The freedom. Building great customer relationships and working with some of the best IT consultants in the country."
