Craig was very attentive to his role and ensured the project was delivered as expected through the use of his experience and skills and his management of the various technical and none technical resources.

Overall Craig is an extremely nice guy to have in the office, he brings a pleasant atmosphere and positive energy.

Craig is always sharing knowledge and helping others with his experience.”

"During 2015/2016 Craig led a mission-critical Data Centre migration Programme for his client, PepsiCo, consisting of cross-functional / cross-vendor projects across Europe and with myself in the Eastern Europe / Russia geography. The Programme was a success, including a “must succeed” migration on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day and has delivered significant value to PepsiCo.

I would describe Craig as strong leader, reliable result-delivering partner and excellent person. He adapts very well to to different cultures and has great flexibility to work on-site in the international workplace, including the Russia winter time. If I had another Programme like this, I would definitely contract Craig once again."
