MAY YOUR CHOICES REFLECT YOUR HOPES, NOT YOUR FEARS
Nelson Mandela
Since 1991, through a professional career, the aim has been to help my partners work through the obstacles in their organisations and through the application of technology optimise part of their operations. Whether work colleagues or clients. Sometimes through software development, project management and business analysis. Cut my teeth within large organisations in the UK over 10 years and then own business in Gibraltar since 2000.
Away from the professional the development of the Young Enterprise Scheme in Gibraltar has been a major area of interest bringing a different outlook to students and an opportunity for personal development which academia alone cannot provide. In turn lucky enough to see the potential of our young people unravel...amazing and fulfilling.
Fortunate to be involved at the highest levels of football from the moment Gibraltar joined UEFA and FIFA liaising with UEFA and European clubs first as secretary of a club and then as Director of the Gibraltar FA.
Even more fortunate to have been a youth coach for 8 years and involved in the excellent Youth Service as a youth worker for 4 years.
2017 circumstances led to the question...so what?
Whilst still involved in YE and football n-gineering.tech was founded.
Privileged to contribute as Director of a Technology business, Education (Young Enterprise) and Football in my current role as Director of Operations and Deputy General Secretary at the Gibraltar FA
Tech : Future : Community
Appropriate Application of technology
Whether it is the research of a new technology to optimise its practical application or the process management of an implementation project to ensure successful outcome. I will apply methodical processes whilst at the same time looking outside the box for innovation with minimum risk. At present I am unraveling the reality from the hype of Distributed Ledger Technology.
Youth Development and social enterprise
Our youth are the most important resource our community have. If we want to secure the future of our our generation and future generations, then invest in our youth. They are the most enlightened, aware and dynamic, however this is often held back in a vault of potential which needs to be facilitated out. We have the means and responsibility to contribute to this.
Team work and community
Despite the obvious competitive nature of football we all love, it is also the epitemy of teamwork at all levels.
Mostly players are aware that they must work as a team on the field but this does not always manifest naturally and must be coached. Off the field likewise the grownups need to look in and see how to best develop the sport in the interest of the young up and coming, the clubs, the community and their nation.
Autonomous Responsibility
Think as an individual and work for the community
“We know what we are, but not what we may be”
